When Does "Fishing Season" End?
Oct 19, 2019 21:45:43 #
Hey fellow (Midwest) fishermen. I've noticed it's getting much harder to get a bite since it's cooled down into the 40s and 50s (30s in the morning). Is there a temp where you just stop fishing? Can you catch fish when it's this cold? I haven't even seen any fish around the banks lately. Also, I know ice fishing exists, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Thanks all.

I’m not sure if it’s harder to fish when it gets colder, I think you just need to switch it up. That being said I’ve never had memorable fishing trips when it gets cold

I thought when it was cold the fish slow down and become lethargic bc they're cold blooded. Right?

Fish live in water. Not trying to be a smartass but why would they care about ambient air temp? Fish until it's too cold for you. That's how we do it in Indiana. I personally don't care for ice fishing so when the water freezes over I quit fishing till it thaws.

I catch some of my best crappie when I spend half my time in the truck getting warm.

Over the years I've had many memorable fishing trips in the cold. Just gotta dress for it and stay dry.

Figures. I had an idea for a pen one time. Some guy named Bic beat me to it.
