Here we go to the start of a new year of fishing guys!

I have a good feeling about this year, the winter has been very mild so far so I am hoping that the catfish, flathead in particular, get active earlier this Spring and move upstream into their Spring time feeding grounds by late April.

In the past when the winters were milder, it usually lead to some spectacular Spring time bites that could be reach from the shore line.

Hello all, I'm new around these parts and going a little stir crazy considering that I'm over trout fishing, no ice is forming on the lakes, and I haven't gotten out to fish at all in weeks.

Anyways, I'm curious if anyone bothers going after cats in the winter time?

The weather is just mediocre out there where it's just warm enough to tempt me into giving it a try. I figure I'd either hit a dam and see what happen or go to the mouth of a creek and see what happens. I'm also wondering if heading a bit further south down to Point Marion would mean a little warmer water though I see that even there the temp for the Mon is down to below 40 F now.

So yeah, hello and thanks. See you out there.

I have caught a few channels during the winter time, but it is tougher.

I need to get out. I'm dieing to catch some fish. Still hunting that first musky. I may go to the musky max expo in march to check it out. I would hit a local wild brown trout stream but i want to give the fry some time to get off the redds. Although I do know some spots that from what I've read where they put their redds there shouldn't be any. Plus I caught some pretty nice chubs last year on my spinners there too. I may start fishing for bait there.

Here's a few from the weekend. If anybody objects to non catfish and non 3 rivers content just let me know and I'll take them down. Just trying to keep the thread active in our off-season.
