Bass, thru documented research, have been found to responsive to temperature changes as little as an 1/8th of a degree.
Not unlike any other creature, including us humans, a rapid ten degree temp drop can affect behavior and make them, or us, look for more hospitable surroundings.
In a basses case it's more likely to affect thier metabolism being cold blooded creatures ( kind of like Numbskull), the slower thier metabolism is working the less active they are and food is digested slower which in turn means longer periods of not eating. Most times they just take off to find warmer water and the bait with it.
