winter is when i really get into gear on fishing for my trout and fish like that. i do catch cats during the winter to but concentrate more on trout. and if the weather is to nasty out i build planes or tie flys or make some bass lures for next season.

I don't plan on stopping the everlong quest to conguer and capture the beasts of the depths!...Come heck or FROZEN water!!!

When I do lasso one of these "fairytale" creatures, I will shout from the bow of my boat!...then I will go home and share my journey with you all! :cool:

Last year at the club ice fishing outing, several nice channel cats were caught through the ice.
I was very surprised that anglers were catching them that time of year. They were fishing for panfish and walleye, and ended up with a very nice mess of catfish.
I agree with River Rat, don't give up on them just because its cold outside !

From what I've seen winter is one of the best times to catch large quantities of trophy catfish. Blues and Flatheads are especially easy to target during this time. The Ohio River is a great winter fishing location. The current and the barge traffic keep the river from freezing over. The best way to catch them is to just find the deepest hole you can find. One of the places we fish has a 60-70 ft. hole in a bend in the river ( water is usually about 30 ft. deep). This deep water will stay warmer longer and the fish will congregate. You can sit in one spot and catch several big fish. Cut bait such as skipjack and shad work the best during this time period. They are an oily fish and will leave a scent trail in the water. That can be key when trying to get a sluggish fish to bite.
