Fred,
What do we know about SH in the colder months?
Are they catchable if a lake or backwater isn't frozen? Where do they go when weeds die off?

Once the water gets close to the 40’s they go into a semi hibernation. Live bait is the best way to catch them once temps are in the 50’s and below . When the weeds die off they like to hangout near drop offs and submerged timber . They are catchable now but it’s best to wait for several warm days in a row to target them. I wouldn’t bother trying to ice fish for them since they would be more than likely in hibernation.
