Though channel catfish can be taken during the daylight hours, night fishing is really the way to go. Set a stinkbait or doughball in shallow water along the quiet shoreline near scattered weeds on soft river or lake bottom. Channel cats will move up under the cover of darkness to feed.
Other after-dark hotspot are the entrances to shallow coves. The cats will move up from deeper water and onto the cove flats to forage. Intercept them as they move in. In a couple of hours follow them up into the cove as that's where they'll be for the night.
