Ice Fishing Tips -Check your local regulations! > Catfish

IMMEDIATELY after ice-out

(1/1)

panfishman13:
i'm talking "still about half the lake has some ice" fishing open water, what baits would you use for channel cats?

waltman:
large nightcrawlers  the whole worm

Oldfart:
Dead minnows or fresh cut bait. Like pike, the cats feed at ice out on all the dead fish that shows up.
 A killer bait would be some finger mullet from down south, about 6"-8", cut in half.
 I always bring a few pounds home after surfcasting the southern shores on vacation. Just freeze it and keep it till next year. :tipup:
