Fall back methods.....

OK lets say you're in a tourney and you've got 4 bass in the box. A
front has blown thru and shut the bass bite down. Your method of
catching fish is no longer working. You still need the all important 5th
fish, what method do you use when it gets tough? I actually use 2, I
either resort to a split-shot rig or I'll rig up a finesse worm on a
jighead and go to the bridge pilings(gotta think vertical).

I would use a wacky rig

A tube, lizard or worm of 4" or so would be best, though I wouldn't use
any weight. the bet way to really tantalize a Bass into striking despite
his disinclination to do so is to allow the soft plastic to drop ever so
slowly. More reluctant fish are caught on the drop, so slowing down the
drop would be more effective in my (never humble) opnion

I would fish the same area where I was catching bass before. They didn't go
far if they moved at all.

I would downsize my baits, slow down and fish tighter to the cover.

Options vary with type of water, cover options, etc.
In general:
Drop down in size of bait,
Fish tighter to cover,
Fish slower.
On the otherhand if you can get tight enough to cover, you may be able to
fish fast looking for a reaction strike.
Go to finesse tactics or flipping/pitching stuff.
On the otherhand if you can get tight enough to cover, you may be able to
fish fast looking for a reaction strike.
Fish deeper or get to moving water if you can find it. Fish in either
situation as less effected by cold fronts.

How has everyone been? I know, I haven't been around for quite awhile.
Anything good going on?

You replied to it in the drop shot message. See what happens when you
aren't here to pay attention when it changes clothes?
