Chuck. Try this. Keep an eye on the weather and when the next
advertised front comes thru, try fishing ahead of the front. The fish
have a tendency to feed voraciously before a front, be it a cold front
or a warm front. The day that the front passes won't be worth a
tinker's damn, and neither will the next two or three days. Things need
to settle down and get more normal before the fish will pay much
attention to food again.

Don: Yeah, that is exactly what these seem to have done... It is
supposed to remain warm for a few days, so tomorrow, I'll try it again
and see if they are well enough to eat LOL...Now that you said that..
I have goldfish in a little backyard pond that are about 8 inches
long, and when it turns cold real quick (or hot) they too, won't eat
until it stabilizes.. Thanks, Chuck

Chuck,
Quick water temperature changes can literally make fish sick. I
used to have a 155 gal aquarium with 3 10-pound pacu's in it. I
didn't mean to, they just grew that big from little guys.
One winter night the heater went out and the aquaruim, which was
downstairs, chilled off very rapidly overnight. I bought a new
heater the next day, and warmed the tank back up, but the fish
seemed like they weren't feeling good and didn't eat for another 3
days. They finally pulled out of it and ate like pigs for a week.
So now you have something to look forward to- a feeding frenzy.
DonO

Folks: it was 80 degrees (new record for this date here) and
Sunny today, so i went fishing.. Yep "FISHING" not "catching"
cause i didn't even get a bite LOL... Jimmy D.. I tried the NW
side like you said, and I found the original creek bed, and
there they were, schooled up.. But they would not bite for
nothing..I tried wet flies, dry flies, and damp flies LOL... I
then put on a curly grub tailed jig and trolled it through
those fish.. NOTHING.. I also talked to about four boatloads
of other (bass fishermen) ppl fishing, and nobody had caught
anything...I don't know what the problem is. The surface water
temp is 52-54 degrees, and i guess it got cold too quick the
other week and still has the fish's metabolism's still slowed
down to much to be hungry.... Chuck
