I'm not sure if I am asking the same question as FIN-S-R.  Although, we both live in Oklahoma, he lives about 150 miles south of me.  Anyway, here goes.  After two weeks of sub-freezing weather, we will have a three-day warming trend until the next front arrives.  Yesterday the high was in the mid forties, today the high was in the mid fifties and tomorrow will be in the upper sixties, AND I'M GOING FISHING!  Do the responses to FIN-S-R's questions still apply, or should I be looking for bass heading for warmer water?

Right now is my favorite time of the year for shad raps. Crawl it back to the boad, and let it bounce off of cover. Stop and go works good but I vary the retrieve until I find what they like. Match the color to the baitfish in the lake.

After about 2 days of warm weather I will go back to the patterns that were working prior to the cold front. If you were not on the water prior to the front then start looking for early pre-spawn bass in staging areas

I am so pizzed I see yellow right now.  The temp got up to 73 today and I was all set to hit the lake and nail the pre-spawners.  But, nooooooooo, one of my clients decided she needed additional work to be done because or her OH So Important Fashion Show Coming up Next Monday!  So I thought to myself "Self, do you want to generate some really nice cash, or do you want to go fishing?"  Self told me to take a hard look at my bank account.  I worked all day.
