Typically catfish require 2 -3 days of constant weather (stable) before they'll bite very well. Usually that means 2 - 3 days of calm weather but it can also mean 2 -3 days in a row of stormy weather. I usually do best in the early morning or around sunset for them on warm clear days. Others might have differing opinions. Just get out there and fish and don't give up and you'll get into them.
A sliding sinker rig will work too, but sometimes the fish will feel the weight if you're not careful and will drop the bait before you get a chance to set the hook. That's why I like to fish it weighless. There's no reason to put a sinker on unless you need a long casting distance.
