nice explanation 

they are getting close to it on the main bodies of water, think we have about 2 weeks before we see that big wave of fish moving shallow

you may see more bait chasers as water temps stabilize, I noticed in the winter down here in NC the largemouth bass would be sitting in wintering holes in groups waiting for bait to pass, normally setting up on cover on deep river channels, or steep drops offs. hope it helps

Hey all wanted to share yesterday's tournament on Falls Lake. I found a magical bank line not too far from launch in a cove that produced 13+ fish for me to secure a 2nd place finish.

NC got hit with a cold front late Thursday into Friday with rain lingering mid Saturday into tournament, full moon, winds in the 8-9 with 15-20mph gust. Water temp 63 (was 68 on Tuesday)

In my area for practice I found a finesse shakey head bite dirt shallow , and spinner bait bite mid depth ~9ft. With the cold front I adjusted everything I found atleast 3 ft from where I practiced. I noticed fish I saw deep on my sonar tuesday in main channel where not there not even bait on side scan so I made a detour to check the nearest pocket. 1st and 3rd cast I caught some bass so I decided to slowly and methodically throw that shakey head, each cast not overlapping the last cast's line. Once I did one pass I go back up the bank with a wacky rig and cleaned up any areas I felt I missed on the initial pass. I found many buck males and some 12-15.75 inch buck males 1 ready to spawn female 18 incher and an active spawning bass couldn't tell if male or female but had roughed up bloody tail.

Hope this helps anyone fishing a cold front tourny. Surprising enough up the lake at holly point campground area the angler who won had a very similar occurrence where he had all his winning fish on one bank in one cove that he combed through all morning.
