Hey stick, there are lots of great places to catch Catfish on Utah Lake. Start with any of the Marinas. There are several.
Provo Boat Harbor (Utah Lake State Park) off Center Street in Provo
Lindon Boat Harbor (see the Utah Fishing Holes Board for directions)
The Bubble-up (1/2 mile south of Lindon)
American Fork Boat Harbor
Saratoga Springs (Pelican Point) on the west side
Lincoln Beach (near Spanish Fork)
All of these areas will produce some good catfishing. Good baits to use include nightcrawlers, minnows, carp meat or white bass meat, or your favorite catfish bait. Usually fishing just barely off the bottom is best, keeping the bait from sinking into the mud. I like to fish carp meat on one hook, and a nightcrawler on the other one (with a 3 way swivel setup), and no weight, just cast it out and let it set there. You might even pick up a stray walleye or white bass this way too.
Good luck to ya!
