Cat contest

[SkunkedAgain]

First step will be safe ice on a channel cat pond... Although the back sloughs are iced on Cutler, I've never been lucky enough to find a cat through the ice on them... But when the Bear Channel freezes safely, which isn't often, I have been with a guy that pulled 5 channels out one day... He tried to teach me, but I just couldn't feel them enough to hook them and I didn't have a good enough finder at the time to see the fish grab my hook, but if she freezes this winter I'm going to try it again with some new tools and toys... hopefully I can get my first through the ice... but I'm not counting on that happening.. But I do want to see if I've learned anything and could do it... Later Jeff
