together.
Weather affects the smallmouth in different ways. Windy weather
usually means the fishing will be better as the waves allow less light to
penetrate beneath the water's surface. The same is true when there is
a light drizzle on a calm day. Smallmouth will go on a feeding frenzy
before a front moves in. Some of the best smallmouth fishing is done
by jigging on the bottom with a jig tipped with a leech, crawler, or
minnow. Casting to rip/rap shorelines is effective as well. Anything
that is in the water that deflects the current is also another good place
to target fish.
Weather affects largemouth bass in much of the same as it does for
smallmouth bass. Warm fronts generally improve fishing unless there
are a few warms days in a row in summer. This can raise the water
temperatures and cause the fish to become sluggish. Topwater baits
are always the most exciting way to fish for largemouth bass. If the
fish are holding in a deep pool, a heavy jig will also provide some nice
action. The soft plastic revolution owes its success to the popular
largemouth and the Texas rigged plastic worm.
