You know, if there is one thing I truely suck at, it's catching panfish during the cold winter months. I just can't seem to temp a bite.
I've tried deep with natural offerings. ( wax worms, crickets, night crawlers) I've tried lures at all depths and of all types. It just seems during the cold months the fish just aren't interested in feeding. I can't even seem to create impulse strikes from agitation and territory intrusion.
What ticks me off is I see people ice fishing further up north and catching panfish with great success. [
] If anglers are able to land nice panfish through a hole in ice, why can't I catch panfish in 40+ degree bodies of water?
I know for sure that any anglers that lives in a climate similar to mine is having/has had this issue during this time of year.
