This is the first time I've even herd of a catfish tourny around here. A friend once told me he did well out in front of the the park at central ferry I think but don't know for sure. He was catching them where the channel cut through during the middle of the day, Does that sound right? Also I had a friend bring me some channels once and I staked them then put them in a brine, and smoked them like I would salmon, and man those things were so good it would make you slap your grandma!
