Whats the deal????

Featured Replies

I went out on the pond behind my house Friday and Saturday and did pretty good on spinnerbaits and buzzbaits (they haven't been touch plastics lately).  The temperature on Friday was around 60-65 and a little windy, Saturday was in the high 60's low 70's and still a little wind.

Well I go out Sunday and throw everything I have with no success, the weather was very nice, high 70's with no wind.  Do the fish get turned off during a warm front?  I could go out and fish in chilly 20mph wind and catch em but not when its a beautiful day??

that's why it's called Bass fishing, not Bass catching. it happens.

Very true lol.  I just don't get the behavior, crappy days fishing is awesome, nice days fishing sucks.  Last year it was the opposite...

Bass feed more effectively on days with wind and/or cloud cover. The less light that penetrates the surface the greater the bass's advantage over it's prey, as the prey can not see the bass as well.

Chop on the water also makes it more difficult for the bass to effectively "see" your spinnerbait or buzzbait.

tyrius is right on. Bassnajr makes a good point too. Also, fish can be just plain spooky with high light and esp a flat surface. Every cast can clear the area of fish. I see it on every such day in my ponds.

Esp in shallow water, dark conditions give tremendous advantages. There are times though when bright conditions have there advantages too.
