How To Catch 30+ Fish After Strong Cold Front [Case Study]
- By: Luke Simonds

Hey there, Salt Strong Nation!
Winter fishing doesn’t get tougher than this: post-cold front, sharp temperature drop, extreme negative tides, and a 24-ft bay boat. But sticking to the weekend game plan we landed 30+ fish across 8 species—all with lures.
Even better? We had the honor of fishing with Insider Colin Campbell, who won a trip with us in last year’s contest. No pressure, right? 😉
In this video, we break down:
- The best spots to target after a cold front
- The lures and techniques that worked like magic
- How to turn tough winter conditions into epic fishing action
