winter seems to be the best according to the guys down there; fish stack more and are still eating. they bite like nibbling panfish surprisingly haha, but once you hook them they bulldog, twist, shake, and pull out little bursts of drag if they're big enough. they really don't like to come up near the boat either haha. with the water cold though i'm sure they don't fight as hard as they would in the late spring, fall or summer. plus we're using gear that can handle fish upwards of 100lbs since those are swimming around in there too!
