Never "targeted" catfish. In laws are renting a lake house on Guntersville this week, so we spent this last weekend with them and will spend next weekend there. My BIL has a boat, but we also both have young kids so we were only able to get out and fish after bed time. Decided to try to target catfish without any preparation, and I caught 1. Since we will both be back next weekend, we decided we wanna give it a good try but don't know where to start.

Do you go deep, shallow, look for structure? Egg sinker and a circle hook on the bottom? Chicken Livers? We really would like to catch some to eat, not looking for those monsters.

Thanks for any help you can give me! If nothing else we'll go enjoy some beer.
