how to catch bass in cold water

Did you say water temp was in the 50's? and refer to it as cold water bass
fishing in the same sentence.

I live in Bradenton Fl the water is in the 50's what do I do to catch
bass? I know their metabolism slows down dramticaly when the water
gets cold. Should I wait for the water to warm up? Fish for other
species of fish? Even fishing in the bay for spotted sea trout and
red fish is bad because of the cold water. This pond is a big circle.
The deepest parts of it are about 12 feet deep. On my hummingbird
smartcast fish finder I mark fish down the shoreline maybe ten feet
out. What lures and patterns should I fish to catch them.
