What kind of fish can I fish for in the winter?

[autumn_marie]

[fishin] I'm looking to see what kind of fish I can fish for in the winter, and what to use to fish with to catch these fish. I'm too excited about fishing to wait till spring so my fishing season is starting early this year. I'm fishing freshwater.

Not sure on your location. But im in Louisiana, and a few months ago i went fishing on the mississippi river. Id say it was around 32-35degree's F. and we 5 decent cats within a few night period, not too mention small-unmentioned fish. The speckled trout start getting good here too during winter. White perch, and i havnt noticed a extreme drop in perch/brim feeding, just on extremly cold days. I hear super cold weather drives fish too the bottom, then if a few good warm days come about they feed.

But In louisiana, about the only time of the year you dont wanna fish is during a hurricane,oil-spill, or lightning storm =).
