[black][size 3]What kind of catfish are you targeting ? By the bait you are using(liver), it sounds like channel cats.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]Chicken liver will work, but a better choice would be cut bait - something like shad or skipjack herring. The fish you catch with cut bait will be larger on the average than it will with liver. You can cast it farther out into the river channel and it will stay on your hook better than using liver.

[black][size 3]Cut bait is also a better all around choice for a bait if you have Blue catfish in the area where you are fishing. Both Channel cats and Blue cats prefer cut baits to just about anything else - especially the larger fish.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]In case you are fishing for Blue catfish, If you can reach the bottom of the last drop off (bottom of the stairs) where the main river channels is, with your cast, you will probably find that you will have less rocks and more and bigger fish - that is where the big Blue catfish will be.[/size][/black]
