correct !!!

fish only stop feeding when there is low supply of food the save there energy and use there reserves up, if your local pond has regular anglers visiting in these colder months theres a good chance you'll catch because they will use energy looking for food and when they find it they will be topped us so to speak this results in fish been caught, what i'd suggest is use little bait as possible double maggot as hook bait then throw in 6 to 8 maggots every 10mins or so that should bring them in your swim keep them competing and hopefully bag you a few silver fish

here's to prove you can catch fish in winter i had these 2 carp out on sunday 20th jan 08
