    Three cold front tricks: assuming walleyes here.
    1) Troll cranks: get in front of as many active fish as possible, plus, many times fish MOVE locations during a cold front or environmental change like the water dropping.
    2) Slow: hook, split shot and minnow-hair and meat.
    3) Reaction: blade baits, reaction strikes really are no different than someone hitting a reflex hammer on your knee.

    good luck.

    1mph for 3 ways and F-7’s up to 2.5mph for jointed shad raps.
    Really can’t go wrong, just switch it up and depends on area fished.

    boos,
    If it is really bad weather. I will usually just stay home, and probably work on my “LIST”, as in the honey do type.
    When the weather improves and fishing is usually much better, and you HAVE TO GO,
    no problems, because you’ve been putting time in on the List.
    good luck.
    Jack
