Hey guys,

I've never done much catfishing, just some on a family pond.

On the lakes I crappie fish (Brewer, Conway, Overcup) I would like to do some rod and reel channel cat fishing. Just looking for eating size and enough action to keep wife and 2 kids entertained.

Where do you start as far as what kind of structure/cover are you looking for and is it better to fish on bottom tightlining or under a slip float?

Thanks guys!
