Summer is the trickiest season. The water gets hot, oxygen drops, and the fish get sluggish. The best summer fishing happens at night or deep, deep during the day (like 15-30 feet down on a river channel).

Then comes fall. Oh, beautiful fall. As the water cools down to about 65-70 degrees, catfish go into "bulking up for winter" mode. They’ll feed aggressively all day long, especially on windy points and rocky shorelines. It’s arguably the easiest time of year to fill a stringer.
