Fishing after a cold front passes can be pretty challenging. Today, was one of those days. When I launched the skiff, the sky was bright blue. A strong breeze was blowing out of the northeast. Given the conditions, I planned to target Trout with small finesse lures in deeper water. My lure combination of choice was a Z-Man TRD TubeZ (Real Deal) on a 1/8th ounce Trout Eye Finesse Jig prototype. Using the depth sounder, I located a school of fish in 15 feet of water. After positioning the skiff down current of the school, I cast the TubeZ back up current and let it sink to the bottom. After a few iterations of a short hop and stop retrieve, I felt the subtle tick that is indicative of a post cold front bite. The Trout were on the smaller side but I was happy to catch anything in the post cold front conditions. The next time you fish after a cold front, try using small lures in deeper water.
