anyone fish cats in though the ice. where do you find them in the winter
Best days are warm days with a little melt water coming in. First deep hole upstream of the river in a resevoir is a good bet, as well as the base of dropoffs. Most cats aren't usually terribly active in the winter, I've had my best luck with small jigs and waxies, although on warmer days I've caught them on a jigging spoon as well.
