I normally use Chicken Livers from Walmart when I set out limb lines to attempt catching a few Cats. My luck is just so-so with perhaps getting one or two for the 10 lines I set out. The Lake where I fish is very clear with visibility down to 8ft being common. I set my lines about a foot from the bottom in the small sloughs off the main channel of the river and hope for the best. I make a "bag" from medical gauze to contain the Liver to keep it on the hook. Walmart Livers are good and bloody which help draw the Cats in, but they just won't stay on a hook by themselves.
How do you guys fish for Catfish? Any ideas of how I can have more success? FWIW many of those that fish the lake call it the "Dead Sea" :x At times is sure seems to be. When I spend a day Bass fishing I might catch 2 or 3 Spots.
The Lake I fish is the Lewis Smith Lake operated by Alabama Power. It has some 521 miles of shoreline in 3 counties of north Alabama.
