I'm not huge into catfish but I can say as someone who fishes for etripers late ethnographer's ght the cats wouldn't start hitting until around midnight and better as it got later. I don't chunk much anymore but at that time with a small piece of mackerel anywhere near Sikorsky would work. That was typically when it was warmer out but I do remember a few times before work around say 5:30 also when it was temps like this.

I watched a guy last year catch a bucket full using shrimp as bait. Tiny little shrimp. The end of the grass on the Housy side of O'Sullivans seems to be the spot.
