Can you expand on where in the lake to fish for catfish, or are they all over?

I only fish from shore and just cast 20-25 feet out. I don't think they have specific spot.

I've had great success with inflated worms on a sinker.

Sardines are awesome but illegal in some states.

[Irving]

Is that where you fill the worms with air using a syringe so they float? Is that so you can fish off the bottom but still get up out of the weeds?

Do what now? Man, there's so much to learn!

[Irving]

Just like it sounds Dr. You take a syringe and fill the worm with air so it will float, thus allowing you to fish with a worm off the bottom, without allowing the worm to just sink (or dig) in the mud. I forgot I had ever heard about that until Wulf mentioned it.

Wulf, that was your response for fishing for Catfish right?

[Wulf202]

yes. also works with carp and other small bottom feeders.

the trick is to know where you need to put the split shot on to keep it just above the weeds

don't buy the fishing shop bottle with a needle like end. it sucks. get a real needle but be careful.
