You never said what type of catfish you were after.
I will assume you want the biggest you can find and advise accordingly.

Flathead catfish eat live fish. Keep baits healthy and lively. Best baits for them are lively baits in appropriate sizes. Flathead will eat any fish they can catch and consume. There seems to be a preference in different waters and I believe it is based mostly on availability of bait.
In Ohio you will find that bluegills (rockbass when available) will make good baits until water temps are high and they die after being hooked. At that time I change to goldfish.
I hope this helps you out.
