I agree that warmer water is probably best, but I have over wintered HBG in cages with minimal loss a few times. Once I even cut a hole through 5" of ice and caught a couple right out of the cage.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
