Your Cold Front Tactics

[Cast N Blast]

Just wanted to know what type of set-ups and tactics you like to use on cold front walleyes. Do you seem to do better on a certain type of structure also? Rocks? Gravel? Mud? whatever? I guess I will be going to the pond in this freezing cold stuff. Almost seems like torture.

I plan to setup some Crown Royal on the rocks.

TTT Crown Royal sounds like a good set-up for me as well, but seriously what do some of you FM's like to do to get the eye's going with weather like we will be having this weekend?

cast and blast, i like to fish the deeper water with one dead stick and one pimple. usually jig the heck out of the pimple and will attract them to the dead stick, just plain hook maybe colored but thats it with a shiner or fathead, might play around with the size of the minnow too. thats what i do anyway seems to work gl2u

Cool, sounds like good advice. Anyone else?

Two words, smaller & slower....Generally, when things get cold the fish slow down and prefer smaller baits and less agressive presentations. Try a dropper rig...they work very well in situations like this. Check some of the articles on the website...they will help you out. Good luck this weekend, I will be out freezing with you. At least the cold might keep some of the activity on the lake down!!

I agree with Zemp, slow, small...but consistant. If you mark fish, try something different, like a vertical jig vs. a horizontal jig. Sometimes that is just enough. crappie minnows instead of fatheads might not be a bad thing either. The only way to know is to try.

when a cold front moves in stay home.

because the fishing will come to a dead stop,

till about next tuesday or wednesday,

with this cold weather, that ice is going to be raising hell and spook the fish,
