Hi there Jamie, and welcome to the boards! That's a good question and I hope I can take a good stab at it.
This is my opinion on the matter. During the winter, the fish's metabolism slows down drastically, and the strike zone of the fish is shrunk to almost nonexistant. This is no secret and has been known for many years. With this in mind, the fish would prove to be much more pickey and exact in thier food selections in the spring.
Come fall, the water is warm, the bait is plentifal, and the fish are snapping at just about anything. Hints they are in full swing and aggressively feeding. The more aggresive fish feed, the less picky they are.
The time of year is a serious consideration through out the season. The good thing is you've already found the trend and know how to target the fish during different times of the year. [cool]
