Any ideas on what to throw and where to throw it in a post spawn cold front? Night temps are going from 60 to 47-48 the next few nights. Never experienced this before. The shad spawn started a week ago but that will be non-existent the next few mornings. Been a squirely spring this year.
TIA for any suggestions!
Looking for post spawn cold fronts.
Same situation here in east Texas. Tried all the normal shad spawn baits with very poor results and decided to try my C rig with the usual baits and colors nothin. Then while digging through my baits I see some long forgotten cotton candy chartreuse tail 6" lizards and think what the heck these look a little bit like a shad color.
17 fish later I figured I made the right choice. I was fishing a point where the shad had been spawning and a nearby road.bed.

If you want to keep after those same fish, I'd be throwing a jerkbait off the sides of the areas where the shad were spawning.
Otherwise, go find some bluegill beds and fish them! The bluegills won't stop spawning because of a cold front. I love throwing a swim jig around them, but sometimes I've found you have to be a little more subtle. Working something finessey from the beds out has bailed me out a bunch of times, and the best part is it's a pattern you can run all over the place.
