What is the best way to target channel catfish?

When Channel Cats Are Choosy

Channel cats are generally expected to take chicken livers, doughballs and stinkbaits without a complaint. This isn't so for larger individuals and anglers have to adjust in order to take them.

Try moving your bait every 10 to 15 minutes to help cats follow the scent in. By retrieving your bait about 10 yards every few minutes is a good to expose your bait. Catfish will search for food and be more likely to track and find it if its moving around a bit. A scent trail extends over a longer distance and interested channel cats can easily home in on the source.
