feb channel cat fishing

I have never fished for cat fish during feb and the colder months I live right by the ohio river and was wondering if anyone has ever fished below dams during this month and did any good any info would help getting cabin fever and its suppose to warm up here in the ohio valley this weekend thanks[code][/code]

i talked to this old old old guy once that fished for channels mainly in the winter. he mainly fished the mon. i can't remember where exactly. he would get chicken nuggets from mcnastiness and use those in halves. he said he didn't catch the big ones but he was eating them so the smaller ones were fine.
i use their nuggets for carp and bullheads. i never caught a channel on them. though i never fished with them in the winter and i've never fished any of the 3 rivers.

I have about two dozen bags filled with gizzard shad can't wait to use them this summer

A large number of the biggest catfish caught come in the colder the months, especially further south. In Pennsylvania it's usually the case that they aren't be targeted that time of year, which is why you don't hear much about it. If you can find the fish, you can definitely catch them.

For me trout filets are the ticket. I caught three Sunday in a snowstorm. 27",26" and 25"

Hi Russ, found where the big channels are hiding. This is Jason, next time you go fishing out there try the other side at the bench. Use big blue gills or chubs. Good luck.

trout has worked good for me also for channels.
