Late Spawn

Out at a local pond/lake this fall I have seen hundreds of fingerling bass in the past 3 weeks, all about 2 inches long. From what I am reading from various breeders online, it takes 100 days or so for a bass to reach 4 inches, so these had to have been from a late spawn, end of August/start of September.

I'm not finding much solid info on fingerling mortality through the cold season. I'm in North Western VA and the past two nasty winters the lake has frozen over for a significant amount of time, ice thickness about 8-12 inches.The lake goes about 9 feet deep in spots, so I am hoping these little guys have a good chance of surviving the winter.

Anyone have any idea if these late bloomers will make it through the winter?
