never fish for cats in late fall or winter but have started trying to catch some. do yall have any pointers that mite help me out. the lake i fish in is 30 foot.
avg. depth around the bank is 4 foot. where do i need to look for the cats at and what kind of bait? channels and blus in the lake. also there is very little structure in the lake. thanks for any help.
Try deep and would say cover but you said there was'nt much. Don't forget Catfish do suspend at times.

Depth of string is relavent to water depth.Quote:

Before my dad died, he and I would tie up a 100 hook trot line and as soon as the ice left the pond, we would put it out. He would check it twice a day and usually have 80 or 90 bull heads, or yellow cats every time he checked it. He got the biggest kick out of catching all those little catfish.
