How does the cold weather (cold water) affect cat fishing in Philadelphias Delaware river?”,”

When it is cold out you need to fish closer to the shore. That is where you will
find the catfish as they are moving to find their sources of food. However, in the warmer time of the year the prey fish will move into deeper areas and they have to follow. You will also find that in the warm weather you are better off fishing at night than during the daylight hours.

You will find that the catfish also feed less often in the colder weather. That makes it all the more practical to make sure you have the right bait when you go out. Then you need to be patient and when they do feed they will be coming your way.
