The essentials for living your best life.
August heat shifts catfish feeding into the night, when cooler water and steadier oxygen draw baitfish shallow and bring flatheads and channels to structure, current breaks, and cover. Fish fresh cut bait or live bait after sunset, read the water by feel, and move often until you find active fish.
Essential Concepts: Night feed, cooler water, structure, fresh bait, stay mobile.
Overcast skies can improve daytime catfishing by lowering light, steadying water temperature, and extending feeding periods into the day. Use strong-scented bait, focus on shallow flats and transition zones, and adjust for wind or rain.
Essential Concepts
Lower light, more daytime feeding
Best bait: scent-heavy
Target shallow flats, edges, structure
