Tony, I'm not sure of a specific temp they shut down, because they really respond to slight temp changes. I've caught them in big time fronts, where the water temp only rose a few degrees. In my forage pond, they'll move shallow later in the day when that water warms up slightly. I bought one of those laser temperature gauges, so I'll try to get a better feel for it. I could care less if it's totally accurate, as long as it's consistently inaccurate.

What's interesting is the perception that Florida strain LMB shut off in cold weather also. They don't. It just takes a different approach. CNBG may be exactly the same. If I owned more than one pair of socks and closed toed shoes, I'd be out there trying to figure it out.
