I really wanna get some catfish. Can anyone help me with good spots, time of year, and the best bait. I'm new to fishing for catfish

Thanks

Hey,

Hope this helps a wee bit:

Bullheads = relatively slow water (ponds , lakes) – worms work great, they will take chicken livers too.

Channel Cats = rivers and a bit of current, cut bait for big fish, worms or chicken livers for smaller fish. These kitties spawn in spring (mid April/May/early June) having big fish enter river mouths. Will hit lures (spinners & spoons as well) with a bottom bouncing presentation.

Most of our larger Lake Ontario and Lake Erie rivers' lower sections have a resident population of channel cats – of a bit smaller size – but can still go 8lbs+ occasionally. (Grand, Welland, Thames, Saugeen)

Watch these videos and you’ll be on your way – they mention their fishing location in Southern Ontario:

I use a simple sliding sinker rig with fair size circle hooks (1/0 or larger) for channel cats with cut bait and a wow size sinker. Ultra-light tackle should not be considered as appropriate.

Never really targeted bullheads a whole bunch. But hey………. once ya get’em cleaned and skinned– they actually taste real good.

Cheers,
