Watch the fish and as they slow with cooler temps cut back on feeding. Feeding during water temps below 50-55 F is generally not continued. Some people will feed small amounts of water softened/sinking pellets on warm days in the winter to help fish get through winter. Fish are cold blooded, so their metabolism drops in cold weather, and they don't require much food.

There are no dumb questions. We all started at the same place with 0 knowledge.
