What Bait To Use?

Featured Replies

I am going out tommorrow as the forecast is supposed to be around 78 degrees. A cold front is coming through Thursday or Friday. What bait would you guys use ahead of this front.

What type of lake? clarity? structure? shore-line cover? depths?

Oops, I should've posted that info. The lake is a sereis ofcooling lakes for the local power plant. Water is clear in some spots. Lots of stumps spread out through lake, otherwise not alot of vegetation. Water depth is around six feet in the center of lake with boat channels around 20 feet around edge of lakes.

Start with a lure that will cover a lot of water. Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, etc. When you get bit slow down and pick the area apart with jigs and plastics such as slugos, crawworms, texas rig assorted worms, etc. Fish the points in the stump fields and any depressions you run across and any drops no matter how slight. If that fails I would move to deeper water with a c-rig or deeper diving crank or jig. If it is bright cloudless stay tight to cover unless they show a willingness to chase bait. Then rip them with a trap.
