Ice catfish

[TubeDude]

Lots of cats caught at Willard through the ice.  The kitties remain active and feed all year...even in winter.  They don't hit as hard...or fight as hard...but they are some decent tugs and great eating.  And you don't have to fish anything special for them.  Whatever you are serving up for any other species will work just fine for kitties.  However, a piece of chub meat on your jig will often get more attention from them than wax worms.  But a piece of crawler can work well too.

Colors?  Doesn't seem to matter much.  But I have probably done best with fire tiger under the ice for cats.
