Mine are still swimming and not congregating in the shallows in Southern Ohio. I've turned off my aeration already when we hit high 20s over night for a few days, but we're back up to 50s-60s over night and 60s-70s during the day. I have 2 Pearls that area easy to spot when they surface, so those are the 2 I monitor. Tried to get them with some worms, but I couldn't keep the perch and specklebellies off the hook.
