Catfish through the Ice

[DTro]

Here's a video I made of this weekends adventure

Nice! Sure isn't much ice there for the temps we've been having.

dtro nice videos! Mind me asking what lake/area you where fishing?? Would love to try for cats through the ice. Still trying to figure out where to go for some action like that! Keep them videos coming!!!

I agree, looks like thin ice. I liked the video. Thanks for sharing.

Who is that character?

It was a fun day Darren and you guys are right about the thin ice, this area can be open water for most of the winter unless it gets really cold. The week before, it was about 2-4" in that spot with lots of variation in thickness.

Darren,

Nice video. I'm glad to see that you didn't give away that location.

I hear ya, but I'm not sure I could even find it again if I tried

I was sitting on a flatbead trailer facing backwards and curled up like a Husky at bedtime. When the ride was over, I had no clue where we were.

Not only that but it's a real safety issue with that ice there, I'm glad I had a good guide.

Yeah, that area is definitely not an area to underestimate or mess around in. Last year I was fishing near there and was picking up eagle feathers next to my fish house. That usually indicates open water, right? I also found a spot near the meth hole earlier this year where the ice varied from 4-12 inches within ten feet.

Oh, I'm hooked. See you at Cool Cats. Nice video!

Thanks for sharing...I know you said you were using cutbait.....and deadsticking...but would you mind how you go about locating and catching cats through the ice? I live near a lake that is full of channels and no one targets them in the winter...i'd like to try with a little advice!
