You can catch catfish when it's cold, but it is not recommended to catch catfish. Because catfish are the most active in warm environment, their activity will be affected when the weather is cold. In addition, after cold weather, the wild waters may freeze, so it will be more difficult to catch catfish in cold weather. Although the difficulty of fishing will increase, catfish can be caught as long as bait is prepared and the right weather is chosen.

1. Choose bait: The appetite of catfish will drop after it's cold, so choose fishy bait when fishing. Common fishy baits include red worms, loaches, earthworms, small fish, shrimps, animal viscera, etc. These baits can be mixed together, so that the effect will be better.

2. Choose fishing spot: Catfish like to gather in rocky water and grass after cold weather, and the fishing place can be leeward and sunny. In this way, the water temperature will gradually increase, and the activity of catfish will gradually increase.

3. Make a nest in advance: Catfish eat a lot, but its appetite will decrease after cold weather. When fishing, you can make nests in advance. When making nests, you'd better use a nesting device to throw the nests into the selected fishing point, and throw them in a small amount for many times, so that catfish can be quickly attracted to the same position. Wheat bran, rice bran, corn, sweet potato, etc. can be used as the nest material to mix small fish, shrimp, red worms, etc.

4, start fishing: When you are ready, you can throw the fishing rod into the water, and the throwing position should be near the nest. After throwing, wait for the signal. Catfish's mouth is relatively large, so the signal of taking the bait is obvious. Lift the rod in time after finding the signal.
