Nice Cats!! I will warn you they are addictive once you get the cat bug it's hard to get rid of it. Seriously though I managed to ice a few of these wiskered beasts tonight also I just can't wait for better ice so I can get to a few of my good spots smile.gifsmile.gif

Hmmm...

How do you guys manage to reply to this stuff so fast! Its like a flock of Eagles spotting a fresh road kill! blush.gif

I'm not sure you guys... Fisky put me on the biggest channel cat of my life and I Da Man is currently responsible for my biggest flat in the boat. Dave is responsible for my biggest flathead frustrations...

I can't wait for open water cattin' again but I'll put up with some awesome ice fishing in the meantime.

BTW how did that 7000 fit on your ice rod?

Good actually. Garcia supplies you with a small bracket and screws to get extra support on the other side of the rod. That is going to be the ticket on those H-chain cats. Nothing worse than a channel grabbing your bait and running into a snag under the ice. grin.gif

Hi guys!

Note ( New license is on other side of old license just flipped in wind.) Pile of spikes with a glow tear drop. 2lb test with my best crappie rod. Heck of a battle when you hook one. These beasts have been suspended. Big red marks sitting about 6-10 feet off the bottom. Jig aroung them then make them chase it until they freak out and bite that tasty little morsel. Crappies have been in the same zone, but feel a little different when you rear back and set the hook.

With Stripers when you clean them be sure to leave the red line on the skin. Then they taste just fine. If you leave that on they taste like.... We like to cut the fish in thin strips and then dip them. Seems like fish always taste and fry better in smaller pieces.

Rainydaze, Me and my buddy found ourselves with some time this weekend and are looking to fish Zumbro for some kittys among other species. Have you fished it lately? with any success? Certain depth to look for?Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

mnfisherman-

I was chatting with fellow FMer Dan Thiem a few weeks back. He said that the Zumbro kitties become easily catchable a couple times during the winter. I think you may be off a little now on timing.

Try posting in the Rochester forum and see if anyone has the recent scoop on the Zumbro kitties.
