Today's weather --What would you do?

Joe, I use to live in Estell Springs...a block from Tims Ford. I went
fishing almost every day . A lot of good water there, but I did most
of my fishing at the upper end from the bridge in Estell to the river
inlet. Caught some nice bass around the old brick factory site.

Have a geat day on the water!

That's my usual tact these days, too... the older I get, the more I
enjoy being able to feel the reel in my hands as I fish, so I look for
warmer days and sheltered banks. But tomorrow I'm heading to Tims Ford
for some shallow-water smallmouth action. Temp should get up to the
mid-40's, NE wind about 10 mph, and we'll be in it most of the day,
looking for the banks and points that get the most pounding from
wind-swept waves. I expect to crank quite a bit, or throw small hair
jigs on 6-pound test Suffix line. My spinnerbaits usually get a rest
when the water temps drops below 45 degrees, but I might break out one
and jig it down a rocky bank a few times.
For an idea of what I can expect, go to http://tennesseebassguides.com
and read the latest two trip reports... 1/29 and 1/27.

Phil, I am now a fair weather fisherman, but in my younger days, I went
fishing in some pretty miserable weather...quite often I might add . I
found that I did pretty good in conditions like you expect, by just
fishing a bit deeper cover, a bit slower than usual. I try and think
like what the bass may be thinking.....If it's cold out, I'm gonna
hunker down, and let the prey come to me grin.
