Great tips man. I fished a tourney last weekend. Had it stuck in my head that I needed to be fishing deep...wasted all morning. Finally around 1 oclock, the wind got to blowing so we backed into a cove to get out of the wind, immediately started hammering fish. I feel like if we would have tried shallow water earlier in the day, we would have likely had a better showing at the weigh in.
Now that the ice thick and fishable using cut bait (fallfish) has been the hot ticket for larger channel cats. Finding that pieces about 3/4 to 1 inch is just the right size. Fishing 1-2 foot off the bottom.
What about bank fishers?
Duh. Get a boat.
Please watch your language.
All the same applies to bank fishing
Excellent advise here in upper state New York SLOW and SMALL is the ticket in freezing cold water in the winter for Big CATS !
Very true!

May not have mattered!
Chad what about a boatless angler in the winter?
Same principles apply
Good to see you making videos again. I’ve picked up a bunch from you over the years. Thanks Chad

Navionics maps and trial and error
I don’t like the fish grips!! Use hands with gloves if need be!
hooks fish= fine
uses a fish grip= cruel
LOL, when you fish as much as I do you learn some lessons along the way.
Good stuff right here!
Appreciate it!

Nice! If it doesn't warm up here I may be ice fishing :)
Great video man. Had the answers to all my questions. Also nice to see those rods in action! That bend is always nice to see. Keep it up
Glad you enjoyed!
