For me, my favorite way of doing catfish on the red is from a boat with a bunch of jugs at night once it warms up. Caught a lot that way. Just float down with them, watch them with a spotlight, drink a lot. Bring a big landing net. Fill the boat.
But you can tear them up on the downriver side of a sandbar, although these won't be large, or in a hole on the bottom of a wash, or below a lock overflow.
I tied into something one time right below dam 5 with a bottom rig and a big surf rod that went right up to the spillway without me being able to turn it's head till he got there then I lost it when he turned back to me. Was exciting tying into something that huge. That rod is ten feet long and as thick as a broom handle or more and I had it doubled over into a question mark with the drag running and didn't budge him for a hundred yards.
No clue what it was but it was pretty fricking awesome whatever it was. Felt like a submarine.

Thanks for the tips. Any idea on bait? But I'm not looking for large ones, just enough fish to fry.
