W, how fast do you need to be working the bait this time of year? Do you let it hit bottom before starting the retrieve of keep it moving as soon as it hits?

when they are feeding it really dont matter but when the water is real cold and the fish are picky.... you will have to slow it down.... most of the time you will barley feel the bite.....This is where lots of people miss fish

From a new angler trying to learn. Why is 1/8 better than 1/4 during this time of year?
