[cool]There's lots of good places to pursue Mr. Whiskers in So Cal. For stocked catfish, you can't beat Santa Ana River Lakes or Corona Lake. Another good lake in Northern Los Angeles County is Pyramid Lake. Best baits are as follows: mackerel, shrimp, nightcrawlers, and chicken livers. Another secret bait is a big chunk of fresh trout guts. For the record, I have also caught cats on anchovies, sardines and barracuda chunks, hot dogs, snails, and strips of bologna. And it doesn't hurt if the aforementioned bait stinks to high heaven!
