Unhappy Anyone Slammin' Fish Since This Cold Front Came Through?

Things seem to have slowed down the last few days (not that I was killing them anyway) but it seems as though the water has not quite reached the optimal temperature quite yet. This morning I went out and found the water to be quite a bit cooler than yesterday and the day before.

Your thoughts?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Same thing happened to me last Saturday. That cold front that came in just shut everything down in the bays and inlets where I was. We did see quite a bit of activity on the open water however, well offshore (out of casting distance).

The run should be in full-swing up in your neck of the woods, let's see how the winds blow.

I think we need a good blast of 80 degree weather for a few days to kick it into high gear. Just my .02 cents.

I've fished every morning this week from 5:00 am - 7:30 - in the same general area of Narragansett Bay. It was a pretty interesting week. Monday, Tuesday and Friday (this morning) fish were breaking the surface in huge schools - and the fishing was quite good. (31 total fish on those three mornings).

On Tuesday and Wed - there was no sign of fish at all. Birds were just sitting on the water, no bait to be seen, no fish on the finder - nothing.

On all 5 days the water was calm. M,T,W calm winds Turs, fri had 5knot winds out of the NE.

I was amazed (frustrated) on Wed / Thurs at how things could just "turn-off" like that. Then today it turned back on. Don't know if it was the cold front - but im glad to see that the switch is back on!
