I've caught them when it was near zero.

Was gonna say -40 degrees...keep in mind while their metabilism slows down, their need for food is still there. They do tend to bite much lighter though; even still, they will "spit it " just as fast as in warmer water

OK gotta ask this. What is the centigrade temp when the Farenheit temp is -40 degrees? Had this on a test in college 40 years ago.

I did not have the benefit of google in 1963. I recalculated that dang thing a dozen times, just knew it couldn't be the same as Farenheit. But it is.

When the temps are below, say, 48*, i go to smaller baits for them. If you use live bait, use the smallest minnows you can find. I use jigs in the 1/32 to 1/80 oz size and do well all winter. As the water warms, i move up in bait size.
