Can you advise me on tips for catfishing?

1. Find the right location. Fish tend to gather in areas with plenty of food, cover and structure, like drop offs, points, and submerged brush piles.
2. Equip yourself with the right gear. Choose lures, line and rods that match the species you're targeting, and don't forget a good pair of polarized sunglasses to spot fish in the water.
3. Pay attention to the weather. The weather affects water temperatures, the areas fish are likely to be and the type of bait they prefer.
4. Use the right bait. Different species of fish feed on different bait and lures, so make sure you have the right ones for your target.
5. Make the most of the time you spend on the water. Monitor water temperatures, wind direction and speed, and look for signs of fish such as birds and baitfish.
6. Know the regulations. Make sure you understand the regulations for the area you are fishing in before you go.
