Super User Solution WRB Posted March 10, 2013 Super User Solution Posted March 10, 2013 Water temperature getting colder than 45 degrees or a sudden water temperature change of more than 10 degrees. Old age also kills them off, but not in mass numbers. Tom Quote

Shoop05 Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 It's a free meal for any fish then. Even the true predators that like live bait will get the ones that are barely hanging on. It can get tough, but fish definately know what is going on and will be somewhat in the area. Quote
