My son and I fished Triple J on 2/25, the day after a serious cold front, where air temps had dropped 30 degrees.  Started fishing at daybreak it was 37 degrees, but the water was way warmer than that.  We caught 7 bass, culled 2, all on TX rigged power worms.  That's 7 fish more than I thought we'd catch!  We started out with top water and spinner baits, but no luck.  Finally got a hit with the TRPW, and never looked back.  I've never been fishing after the temperature dropped that much, and based on past experience, I was really surprised we caught anything.  I bet this property is really good fishing on a warm spring day.  One of the bass looked heavy with eggs, and had a bit of a frayed tail.  It seems early, but maybe they're on the front end of the spawn.  We only caught one dink, and the rest were 1 to 4 lbs., and very healthy.  It's always a good day to be out fishing, and both of us avoided getting skunked, so I'm a happy camper.
