Dave... Interesting question... I really never looked into it... I would imagine that if the water is comfortable enough for the panfish, then it wouldn't bother the bass all that much either... If there is no other food available, one would think they would have to follow the food... even in winter...

Fine Bango sounds good. Heres a good question. when winter hits and the dissoled oxygen drops in a lake due to low light penetration threw the ice do you feel bass will dare the colder water, and follow the panfish for more food and comfort or will they just hunker down and wait until turnover starts and they feel the water warming up. this question has come up during ice fishing demonstrations that I have done.

Unfortunately when a dredging happens they may be stirring up more then they bargen for. True it will remove some of the toxins, but it will also send them suspending in the water to find a new destination to settle. so in tern you may have less pollution over a larger area. its a double edge sword from my perspective. There are certain bacteria that can breakdown pcbs whitch has been discussed in my lab class, but what happens when they exhaust their supply or what are the enviornmental consequences by introducing a new organism to a eco-system that may not be optimal.

Yes I feel the same way. I will actually move my tip-ups shallower during late winter, and will have much sucess. Now shallower may mean bringing them up in the water column, and not necessarly moving them into 3 feet of total depth.

Dave I haven't even seen enough ice to "ice fish" on yet this year... and the bass are still moving around pretty actively...

You might want to try going to Fresh Pond in North Port this weekend if you are looking for some action...

Take care Dave... We are going to rap this up... we have to keep experimenting with days and times to find out what night is good for everyone... But that doesn't mean you can't stop in to talk anytime...

Later...
