I think the problem may be amounts of feed going in and the regularity of it.
In summer it is possible to get through lots of feed and still keep them interested, however not enough and the fish move on. Getting the balance right is the key. In winter people are generally more frugal, perhaps only feeding to bites. Instead of potting in a couple of pots(summer) to start off and feeding a handful every put in, you are generally cutting right back to a small pot and a kinder cup after each bite.
Even in winter I have had to feed 5 or 6 pints of feed to keep fish in the peg.Generally my rule is to start off slow in winter and feed more as the fish respond. If there are fish in the peg then up it, if not still feed but maybe only a few pellets at a time.
