Hi Pepperoni.

How do you locate fish in the winter? They don't surface, and you can't see
them.

BTW, other people have been on Pepperami, cheese, and all the usual baits,
and haven't caught. They don't seem to take any bait.

In winter there is very slight temperature difference throughout the
lake.
There is little reason to fish the deepest part of the lake. I prefer to
locate the fish and then fish in their movement area. Throughout the
year,
a depth of 5-10 feet is my preferred depth. Here (US), I prefer prepared
salmon eggs as bait in winter (treated to make them firm) , fished on
tiny
trebles. This makes a nice cluster with a single egg on each hook. This
bait attracts numerous species, but may not be legal bait on designated
trout water. (laws vary greatly by location) Curiously, corn is also
illegal in some States and locales.

You may not be doing anything "wrong". Some species merely bite better in
winter than others.
