Catfishing

[Noah Mello]

I have caught so many fish this year and am ready to catch catfish! I was wondering if any body knew good catfish spots this time of year? Day or night catfish spots. Thanks

Catch them here and there while fishing for other fish. Think I would try drifting across some points with a catfish rig or drifting on flats.

We have tried aldrich and greenfield and still nothing.

Found this from a 5/10 fishing report for Stockton lake: 

channel catfish fair on nightcrawlers, minnows and jigs in coves;

I hate catfish they mess my walleye fish up, Kramr's posts resembles my experience. They are everywhere you just have to find the right bait.

We camped at Ruark Bluff east one summer there was a guy putting out 1 liter bottles with about 18 inches of line and a #2 hook in the farthest east cove bordering the camp ground. His bait was baby bluegill. He would put them out in the evening on pick them up in the morning. He always had several good ones.

I can't tell you how many I have caught on bottom bouncers.
