I live in San Diego. Here they stock channel cat fish in the lakes. I
never was lucky enough to catch a cat fish. I will appreciate if someone
would give me some hints how can I catch a cat fish.
Thanks.

Try tying your self a bottom rig. Bait it with just about anything from
worms, market shrimp or some commercial produce bait. Catfish are
scavengers and will eat anything. They prefer the bottom but will come up
to the surface to get food.
Here is a good site for you to get some ideas

Just be careful when taking them off the hook the pectoral fins are very
sharp and pointy.

I never caught any Channel cats on any stinky baits.
I had the best luck on Live bait. worms and crawdads were best for me. baby
mice and minnows worked good too

Caught 2 channel cats on cut fish bait (herring but any oily fish will do)
one 12 lbs and one 10 lbs. I agree channels dont seem to be so crazy about
the stinkiness of baits.

They like live food !and May Flys ! If the may flys are having a hatch after
dark in the
summer get the fly rod out ,you will have a ball! Fish a shinner or a live
night craller
under a bobber..rainy day, cloudy day the best.. I caught 100+ a day below
theYork Haven Power Plant in Pa,
Check my site for more hints and Maps.. at http://sea4two.net
let me know what you see... some pages may not be right but ,
I can't tell on my end... tell me what's not working....they may be ok but
i'm not sure,.
thanks in advance, Allen
P.S. I live in Port Orange Fl. Now and I catch HUGE sail cats ! 7/8 lbs plus
or more using live finger mullet..they bite the same as Pa Channel Cats !

On hot summer days Grasshoppers work well, fish them on the bottom or under
a float.
