The cold front that blew through late last night pretty much trashed your hopes of winning your bass club’s tournament. It started with heavy rains and a strong wind out of the west. Then as the front passed, the skies cleared, humidity dropped and the wind switched out of the north, causing air temperatures to plummet and the bass to disappear from your usual hotspots. The bite started off tough and only got tougher as the day progressed. Hardly anybody in the club, including you, weighed in a keeper bass. But then, that’s to be expected during a cold front, isn’t it?
Not necessarily. If you’re one of the select anglers who casts for cash on the professional tournament circuit, you can’t afford to let a cold front negatively impact your success. In the big leagues of bassin’, there’s no room for excuses. You’ve got to catch bass, weather or not. Your livelihood and reputation depend on it.
