Fishing is a sport that is learned by trial and error, but if you don't catch anything it is hard to establish if it was the weather, the presentation, or the location that were to blame. In other words, a successful pattern must be established before an unsuccessful one can be eliminated. Tough circumstances will sometimes dictate that we abandon what has been working, and try something new. It is these times that define us and our abilities as anglers. Spring is probably the favorite time of year for most fishermen.
Warm weather brings the fish to shallow water where they are easier to catch.
These are the days directly following a spring cold front. Blue bird days are marked by gusty winds, blue skies and a high barometer. Largemouth bass seem to go into an absolute lockjaw under these conditions. Bass have an area of interest known as their strike zone. If you can present a lure in this strike zone you are likely to entice a fish to bite.
