Cold Fronts Change Everything

Scott Pastor a.k.a Fishy and I smallmouth fished at the point at the canal between Tellico and Ft. Loudoun today after work for a few hours.  The weather has changed very drastically recently.  It probably has rained in a month and yesterday a major cold front moved in and it rained a couple of inches.  So, fishing conditions are very different compared to hey days of 8/22 and 8/25.  Fish and I worked for nearly two hours just trying to get bait.  The minnows were essentially completely gone from the cove I had previously been getting them.  We got ~20 minnows and fished the point on the canal between Loudoun and Tellico and caught about 5 smallmouths, none of which were anything to brag about. Lesson learned:  Things can change fast, so if you're on the fish you better take the day off work and stay on 'em!
