But Lake Okeechobee has been such a bass-fishing mecca in recent months that Dan Blanchard of Sarasota was able to overcome Saturday's chill to produce a five-bass string weighing 30 pounds, 6 ounces to win the Walmart Bass Fishing League Gator... That's an average of more than 6 pounds per bass for Blanchard in the BFL - a tournament circuit intended for weekend anglers. When a cold front moves through, largemouth bass tend to head for cover or move into deeper water, where they don't feed as aggressively as they do in warmer conditions. Cold weather can make bass fishing tough. "The cold front really shut the fish down," Blanchard, told FLW Outdoors. I was able to flip under the mats and found an area on the north end of the lake holding big fish. Several guys came through where I was, but they were moving too fast. You really had to slow down out there. I used craws and beaver-style baits to punch through the vegetation.
