Cold water and deep water wintering bass, like you see so often here in the far north, can be of concern. Same can be said with high water temps and deep fish as well. Not good.. I would say, under 25 FOW, catch em all you want in the cold water.. I catch lots of smallies through the ice, under 25 FOW and they are fine.. But, know others who have caught them deeper and it hasnt been a good thing.

Greatings from the Land of Small Jaws - Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior.. Almost fishing the bronzies through the ice here.. brrrrrrr Hope everyone is doing well!!
