Was in the 70's Friday and very windy with overcast skies, today was much cooler with bright sun and wind again.  Tomorrow is supposed to be almost no wind, 40's at sun up with clear skies.  I will be at the lake around sunrise.  What would you do?  I plan to start with a spinnerbait and maybe a jerkbait (hardbait) and move to a jig later on.  I don't know for sure but I would guess the surface temps will be in the upper 50's to low 60's.  Thoughts?

Thanks

Simple solutions are usually the best way to go. We all sometimes over think or out think ourselves.

About the time we think we have the bass figured out, they prove we don't

On my home lake we have an awesome swim bait bite that gets going as the water temps approach 55 degrees. Main creek cuts in and parallels a flat for 50 yards or so. It also has road bed running down the other side of it. Kinda shaped like a l__ (flip). The flat has moderately deep holes from archeological dig and they are feeding on bream. Its crazy good from crack of dawn til about 45 minutes after sun comes up over the trees. We catch them on a variety of storm swim baits. When we can get on a boil spooks, traps (smaller ones), deep and shallow cranks work too. After it dies off we fish jigs along creek. These fish are crapping all over from being so full too. Its like they are scared they aren't going to eat again. Have never seen anything like it that you could hang your hat on like this besides a wacky worm in April here.   2 years ago today was when I caught my PB. They were "doin it" pretty good before water temp warmed back up. I bet yesterday and today were awesome after this big front come thru.  I had to come back to work. 

Sounds like you might should check the jerkbait bite with these conditions. A lot of fish in TN suspend in these conditions.

Id say this. Then again LM are a bit different then smallies. Still Id approach it the same as any other day as it is the fall, and the fish should be preparing for winter. Some reaction, some jigs, and if the fish/bait are deeper I would drop shot.

Fall is one of the best TW bites. Put on a pop-r/ribbit/spro and hang on!
