Appears from what I'm reading, and maybe more from what I'm not reading,winter and cold water temps have finally kicked in. The bitter part of late January towards end of February can be slow. Looking forward to the big female black bass showing up in late Feb, hungry and feeding in the pre-spawn. Gets better from then on -

This is true. However I've had some of my best days in February, as its the first shot I get at fishing since the beginning of fall due to hunting. So I am usually out there, heavy gloves on, looking deep in the trees for fish. Often times I will find them after a couple hours of looking, and can take advantage of them with a spoon. Deep downlined alewives in the same area work well also. And if you're into white perch, there is no better time to target them than in February as they are deep in the trees too and schooled in massive schools.

Hopkins spoons, CC spoons, ice jigs, flies (no joke), and alewives. And jiggin raps, sometimes when they are very active or I can't get them to bite anything else.

How true how true.I had cabin fever and called a friend I haven't Fished with in years.He loves to jig a spoon. So do I. We tried to launch at the bridge with no luck. Hadn't been plowed so over to the State park.7 bucks later we were on the water. Water temperature was 43 . Found bait in campers in 30'.no takers on the spoon but we were snagginging large shad on spoons. Off to Indian not much going on there so we went to the mouth of Indian and caught 1 Lm about 4 pounds in 32'. Not many boats on the water.Still a better than watching it Snow. Be careful and fish with a friend.
