I have heard allot of guys say the fishing is better after a good cold winter with a good shad kill...... Why's that?
Less food available makes for less competition for your lure.
Dave-Don't you mean more competition for lure by gamefish ?
Dave-My bad-brain is slow today.Less competition for lure from bait availability standpoint.
My 2-cents...immedetly fallowing a hard winter..and with "a good shad kill";...the shad that do survive are very slow, weak and slugish...easy pray for bass...thus schools of bass will "home in" on the small weak schools of shad during these periods in Feb. / March, thus pormoting even more bass to "get in on the action"...that is why working a CB nice and slow..with a tight wiggle, or a very very slow side to side wiggle...promotes a reaction bite during early spring; also why a jerk bait small twitch method, and sitting still for a count of 12 is hard to beat. Also...a hard winter itself....like when the lake freezes over...after the ice melts...I think the bass are what I call a "fight or flight" syndrome. The winter was espiscally hard on them...thus they eat a bunch...and big...to get their strenth about themselves once the water gets in the high 50's.
All I know is come March, there will be about 16 cans of woopass opened up on those Black Bass........
I'm storing up cans as WE speak.........
Hell yes GeoFisher!!! That is the attitude that will get you there!!! I turned in my vacation fishing time for March last week...it's on like Donkey Kong!!!!
