Good answer Ergo, and I agree with what you said, but then why do
Pike and Perch feed well no matter what the weather?

Because warm water increases their metabolism. The same thing
happens with repties who can often be seen sunning themselves before
they become active. HTH

I slow down at this point, maybe due to teperature. Fish will only exert so
much energy in order to catch their prey. If the water is colder, the prey
fish swim slower and are easier to catch. Ergo (no pun intended) the prey of
Perch and Pike are going slower so they catch them. These fish still feed in
the summer but mainly on fry which hang around to be eaten. If you want to
catch these fish in the summer try small baits. This probably explains why
in the summer you can catch Pike on Maggot.
