Jason, what are your winter water temps? What temp is the water that the CNBG are actively feeding in?

Scott, I�ll give you some temp numbers for CNBG feeding activity.
It�s not a matter of absolute temp numbers but relative numbers based not only on the direction of temp change but on rate of change of near surface water temps.
Our CNBG will slow down from ~50 F until they stop feeding about 45 degrees.
They will begin feeding at ~45F and increase activity upon warming temps.
