Cats in the Cold

Kentucky fishing guide Joe Hall looks forward to winter, but not because it'
s time for a break. Actually, it's the opposite: Hall knows that cold water
concentrates blue catfish in specific locations. When water temperatures
drop below 60 degrees, it's time to be on the water, because that's when the
blues will feed aggressively. And the best action takes place during the
day.

I don't know about being on the water during the winter--- older and a
little more wiser now. However, we do put lines out in the evening and check
them in the morning and we do catch a few channel cats. Fish like people
have to eat, just maybe a little less in the winter.

Well, it's a big country. Up here in Michigan You have to dig the truck
out of the snow to drive to the lake and cut a hole in the ice to fish. Our
water is colder in the summer than winter water a few hundred miles to the
south. Even in winter, fishing is good here. I suppose the philosophy of
fishing (winter or summer) states that you won't catch anything unless you
get out there. It is sort of like the lottery; you can't win unless you
buy a ticket.
