[#0000FF]Not a good time of year to be chasing channel cats from shore. When water temps drop below 55-60 degrees the bigger fish move out into deeper water and slow down. The will still bite, if you can find them, but fishing from a boat or other floatation craft will get you into more fish.
Mud cats are just a bit heartier than channels. They bite well even through the ice...and in shallower water when it gets colder. In fact, they move into the shallows on fall or spring days during the afternoon when daytime air temps have been high enough to warm the shallows even a couple of degrees.
Good luck.
