Anyone fish our first cold front?

I fished a tourny on Osborne and did HORRIBLE.  Weigh in was 2pm and I left for home at 1:30.  I started out in Lake Clarke and finished in Osborne.  I caught about 14 fish with the biggest being 1.5.  All others were barely a pound, if that.

I went out for a couple of hours later in the day today.  Found a good school of fish in deeper water on a main point.  Nothing large though, one about two pounds was the biggest.

Post cold fronts are really tough.

On the other hand, wasting the afternoon watching the Fins was worse. :(

Had a tournament out of Lake Kissimmee over the weekend. The front came through up there on Thursday night and the water temp dropped from 75-76 Thursday AM to 60 on Sunday AM. We did pretty good on Saturday with about 19# but had a tough time yesterday with only 4#-but it was still enough to win. The fish really locked down on Sunday.

What was the winning weight? I was going to fish but had a work obligation.

I fished sunday. Bite came on later in the day.

Weather was a bit rough by the ocean so I did some bass fishing.  Friday and Saturday were both excellent days about 10 fish in 2 hours decent size. each day.  Sunday and today out about 90 minutes each day and only caught 2 Sunday and 3 today.  Fished from shore ponds and canals, all 4 outings I only I used a topwater popper, nothing else.

Yes, Christian Trail out of Okeechobee s north end, came in 10 out of 55, they paid up to 9th.

It was miserable.

Edit too add:  Saturday

Congratulations...that was no easy win buddy!

Sunday morning I walked outside (lake wales, FL) and was greeted by cold gusty winds

that bent the scaffolds on our largest trees. I told Lois that we're going to concede

to the pier on Lake Walk-In-Water (a private pier on the sheltered north shore).

I spent a couple hours experimenting with different lures & deliveries.

Happily, I was only interrupted once by a sub-legal bass that came unbuttoned 8-)

Fished for an hour on Sunday am on a small Polk Co lake.  Water temp in the mid 60s, boated 1 dink and decided I did not want to play in the wind anymore.

I fished Lox today...my first outing since the cold front (see Lox-  Oct 30 thread).  Water temp was 11 degrees colder than it was one week ago but the fish didn't seem to mind too much.  The bite was pretty good for me today.

As has been the pattern for me lately...numbers in the morning and size in the afternoon. The weather kind of broke about 4:00PM today...the wind slowed down and it really was a comfortable evening to fish.

I didn't stay for the weigh in, but out of 11 boats I know 3 of us quit early.  We usually have 18-23 boats.  I didn't get out Sunday but it couldn't have been any worse than Saturday.

I'm going back to Osborne in the mornong for some Speck.

Thanks Roger. We went to bed on Sat night at Grape thinking it was going to be more moderate on Sunday. The wind howling through the live oak at 4AM shut that idea down. Sunday AM was full contact fishing LOL. Love that place though good results or not

fished the holeylands saturday - was surprised we caught fish all day - dinks in morning on trick worms - a couple around 4lbs in the afternoon on frogs
