The bass will start moving in once the water warms to about 50 degrees, and cats don't really get active until the water temps reach into the upper 60's, but what will work as soon as ice out gets here is the walleye, & northern turn on in the shallows on the northern sections of your pond, lake, etc.
Just walking the edges of the water will clue you as to when the action really starts, & Oh, boy oh boy, I can't wait!
I've got cabin fever so bad, & my sister-in-law calls my wife the other day from where they live, down by Lake Guntersville, Alabama, and says to tell me that they're tearing up the crappie, and that bass have been spotted moving onto the beds, (I hate it when she teases me like that, cause she knows that I can't come down there.) So, I guess it'll be a few more weeks, and at least I can get things ready to go until then. So, be patient like me, and...... Oh!, the devil with this,.......Brenda, honey, where's my car keys, think I'll just take a ride down to the river, you know just to see what's going on.(Hey!, you never know, right?)
Goodluck & Good fishing
