Default Re: When do the smallmouth/sunfish slow down for winter?

The smallmouth were definitely feeding heavy this weekend. Had my 13 year old nephew and 8 year old son out on the Delaware this weekend. Both kids got their first bass, and many more after that. Biggest was 15.5 inches and we probably got 20 fish in all. Oddly enough, I had 4 dozen minnows because I had inexperienced kids on a small boat, but only managed one fish on live bait. They wanted plastic worms and topwaters! The water warmed up 7 degrees in 4 days due to the hot week we had--combine that with shortening days and the smallmouth were hungry.
