The lake where I frequently fish, Lacamas Lake, in SW Washington state has some nice brown trout and a lot of bluegill and even some bass, but the fish I am trying to target is catfish. I saw where some skilled fisherman cleaned a cat at the ol' boat launch and left a head nearly as big as a dinner plate. I have tried chicken livers, worms, and even hot dogs with no luck. I have even tried fishing at night with no result. We are not allowed to use live bait here in Washington, which is what I hear a lot of cats are caught on. I do not know any better so the rig I use is just a weight about 24 inches above the baited hook.
I am a self-taught fisherman and I do not have any "fishing buddies" to show me what I am doing wrong so any advice would be appreciated.
