I would check out In-Fisherman's annual catfish guide, if it's still on newsstands.
Go to U-tube
I will pass on what a commercial fisherman told me several years ago . Their are a lot of baits that will catch a few cat fish but they are a few baits that will catch lots of cat fish! It’s hard to beat fresh shad cut or whole! Yaw probably don’t have them down that way but fiddle worms works great also. Sent you a pm Welcome to c.c
I watch dieter melhorn on YouTube because he fishes a local lake. I agree YouTube is a good source of different techniques. I’ve seen him run planer boards for catfish as an example.
Well, what methods to you know?
My go to bait is Bacon soaked in garlic overnight.
Hard to cast it but works best for me jug fishing
Forget fishing, man! That'll eat!Quote:

One technique I’m gonna try this year is the Santee cooper rig. I’ve done a lot of cat fishing but never tried this set up. Check it out on YouTube

[B]used Fiddle worms back when I stayed with my grandparents in Cullman,Al back in 1974, best catfish baits I ever used period.. couldn't keep the channel cats off the line.. We were fishing up in the creek/river part of Smith Lake where there house was./B]
it was actually Crane Hill,Alabama where my Grandparents lived not Cullman..
