That is generally true Jason. Especially in the Southern areas. However, we've all caught bass, and other species, who instinctively bite when they are stuffed and have the tail of another fish sticking out of their mouths.

And then there are the guys up North who can't wait for the ice to thicken. The metabolism of those fish has to be about zilch at that time.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
