Today's weather --What would you do?

Hi Phil - I've spent alot of days on the water like you described with only
limited success. Now, add sunshine into that mix & things turn right
around. With than rainy forcast there generally comes overcast skies & a
slow bite in the winter. I only fish in those conditions if I have to
(tournaments).

I am itching to go fishing. The forecast for today is cloudy with a high
of
48. Chance of rain tonight or early Monday morning. The water temp will be
45-50 degrees.

I have never had much luck bass fishing in the winter, but I am determine
to
try.

Can anyone share what fishing patterns you would use on a day as described
above?

Thanks
Phil

See, now that's where you might be making a mistake. You should
periodically fish under crap conditions so that when crunch time
(tournament) comes, you have an information base to fall back on.

Quite often, I fish in less than ideal conditions because I never know for
certian what weather I'm going to have for a guide job. I need to know how
to produce fish under any weather condition. Janet thinks I'm nuts to go
out by myself when the weather's cold, miserable and nasty, but the clients
appreciate it when we're putting fish in the boat and others aren't.

They must be banging down your doors to go fishing in Wisconsin in winter,
eh Steve!

JK- I've actually spent hundreds (ok, maybe dozens) of days like that on the
water, that's where I drew my conclusions from...
