Sure it is. Just check out the ice fishing board sometime.

Although, I don't ice fish (Atlanta is amazingly devoid of ice fishing opportunities), I actually prefer cold weather fishing. Most people forget about gills once the spawn is done.

I usually fish deeper water near the spawning grounds. I also use live bait much more. It's much more productive, IMO.
