catfishing
I will be coming up this week for a little bass walleye fishing. Just is case the lake gets rough and to much for the bass boat I may try Sandusky Bay for some cat fishing.
I do remember reading on here it was good for channel. My question what is the bait of choice. If it is Shrimp is it the raw or cook kind. Any help is appreciated. BB out

Here is something to try
I do a lot of casting for walleyes with weapons. You wouldn't believe how many cats I get
Tie on a weapon , bait it with a 1 inch piece of nightcrawler , make a long cast, let it sink some, and reel in dead slow. If there are any cats around you'll get em. Kind if Like bass fishing . Let us know how you do.

Chicken livers, never seen a channel cat turned them down, and cheap, keep them on ice, simple rig no 2 hook and weight,I would also try to stay in the main channel, hence the name channel cat.Good luck

I'm with frank ... Chicken livers have always produced cats for me .. Put a slip sinker above to knot where u tie the hook to the main line and ur good to go .. Once they find it you better be watching the rod or they'll try to take it with em

I usually use shrimp... Raw, with shell on. You at least want to have the tail still on to give you something to help hold them on. I usually fish the western edge of Sandusky bay, either north or south of the inlet going back into Muddy Creek Bay.

I also use raw shrimp with a slip sinker and fish the east side of the RR draw bridge. Lots of fish in that hole.
