I love to catfish. The only problem is I just got a boat so now I am mobile. I am used to just fishing off of the bank. I fish Richland Chambers. Now that I am mobile can anyone help me on boat ramps and places to fish? I will be going around March 9. So given the weather and all any info will help

Any lake around is predictable for catfish in the shallows this time of year...went out yesterday fished bout 10 ft an caught a nice load with a pb at 34 pounds

Do I just need to get in a cove somewhere and use stink bait? Or find some brush or stumps? Also if the wind is blowing w should I be on the West Bank with the wind blowing towards me or on the e bank with the wind at my back? Any info is helpful

Use your boat to go get shad, if you have never used a cast net get one and learn on youtube/online articles and how to find shad. You can drop a sack of range cubes in a few spots if you just want some small keepers. If you want bigger ones, the big blues are still chasing fish on shallow mudflats. Find a mudflat in 4-10 ft of water and set up shop with lines in all directions closer to the outside edge of the flat. If you don't get bit in 30min move. Find a flat near rip rap and you're almost guaranteed to get some, find a flat next to rip rap where the wind is blowing into it, then you've got a really good shot at a trophy.

So then use a weight and fish the shad on bottom or use a cork?

For cats A bottom rig is the way to go with me

Ok thank you for the info

hit the log and structure look for the birds on that lake make sure you have some chum and planty of bait i fish rebel hook on a slip cork just off the bottom mourned structure
