Tips for catching Catfish:

Catfish are fun fish to catch they taste good and easy to catch you just got to find the right spot. Catfish are night feeders so its best to go at night you can catch them during the day but its harder. There are a lot of different ways to catch catfish a lot of people do different things i personally go at night when the current isn't strong and use worms minnows crawdads. (they love crawdads and minnows)

        Catfish spawn when it is warmer our when the water reaches about 66 F to 75 F around late spring or early summer is best. Catfish are bottom feeders and they tend to stick near the bottom of the river or lake i usually use a bullet sinker and clamp sinker about a foot to a foot and a half up from the hook and i usually use a jig or crawdad, minnow, worm,carp, perch, (the best) shad something that moves or floats. Because when the sinker hits the bottom the bait hook or whatever you are using floats up just above the vegetation.

        Catfish usually hunt with smell and touch that's why they have them whiskers so live bait or moving bait works best. Perch lives a long time on the hook so you ant throwing it a way all the time. You can go out and get smell bait that has a little treble hook on the bottom with a little tube on the top you fill with this stuff that smells.
