The mix of opportunities and the changeable weather have hundreds of tournament anglers scratching their heads.

Nobody is sure what to expect from the moderate cold front that will move through tonight and, perhaps, transform the fishing on the Kissimmee Chain as we kick off the 2013 Bassmater Southern Open season tomorrow.

Bass can be caught any number of ways.

I drew Danny White of Milledgeville, GA as my day 1 partner. “I don’t have a spot where we can catch 5 fish,” he said. “We will have to keep moving and catch one here, one there.”

Even Ish monroe, who loves to flip, could do 3 different things. “I am going to throw everything else out of my boat except for two rods,” he chuckled at day’s end. “That way I won’t have options. There are too many options right now.”

Wind, clouds and possible storm showers will bring challenging conditions for sight fishermen. Tomorrow could belong to the guys and gals who like to keep a bait moving. Fish were active today under pre-frontal conditions and tomorrow morning the fish may fire off, but once the clouds are blown out and the barometer starts to climb this could turn into a flippin’ fest by day 2.

If you’ve been following the AnglersChannel South Florida Big Bass Tour, you noticed which lure I had fun with yesterday. The frog has the potential to produce under a variety of circumstances. Excessive wind isn’t one of them, but sometimes you never know. Most of my bites yesterday came from open water, including the big girl that bit my old Snag Proof frog. I’ll have that tied on anyway.

Water temperature is perfect for spawning and quite a bit of that has happened. Some fish are busting fry around old beds, some are moving up to stage while others, not as many as we’d like, are locked on and catchable from the beds.

Watch the live weigh in Thursday and Friday at 3 p.m. on Bassmaster.com. Saturday’s show starts at 4 o’clock.
