Readers - Notice how big the mouth is on the striper that Bruce is holding. Pretty small mouth for a fish that large.
In late fall fish will only need to feed once a week or so. As water temp drops below 50 surface feeding practically stops. A few real warm days may stimulate an occassional feeding spree. Fat fish will usually do fine health wise until water warms again in spring, providing there are no oxygen shortages. Nature has things taken care of for the fat fish during winter and under ice cover.
