Where do fish go in winter and how can they be caught?
Winter's colder temperatures have arrived and this has set in motion those changes which move us from fall angling to winter angling. The water temperature has now dropped into the middle 50s and most lake water will not warm much above the present temperature until spring. In fact the water temperature likely will drop further into the upper 40s.
Winter angling normally consist of fishing weather fronts and preferably fishing in front of the winter high pressure fronts which normally drive air temperatures and barometer readings low and affects the angling directly by normally shutting down the bite.
The better times to fish are in front of weather fronts or after a period of relatively warming stable weather. Then the question becomes where to fish and what lures are best to use.
The crappie have already begun to move to deeper water where they spend most of the winter. Unlike a largemouth bass which will venture into relatively shallow water in winter, the crappie becomes for the most part a creature of deeper water.
Crappie will move deeper and deeper as the winter progresses and the water temperature drops.
