I was at Cachuma on August 10th and caught a nice catfish.

Nice shake-n-bake cat Keith!   8)

Question, are you guys using mack or chovie as bait up there or using something else like prepared baits or chicken livers?
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Last I went, I used half a squid on a 1.5oz c-rig. Just pretended I was bat fishing ;D . I do have gnarly-a$$ prepared dough that I caught a couple on at a local duck pond.

I used strictly macs on a double dropper loop.
The macs were fresh frozen but my wife wouldn't let me keep them in the freezer in the trailer, so by the time I used them they were pretty ripe.  :o
The one was caught during the middle of the day but I got bites every time when I went out at night.

It's kind of a bummer that most of our local freshwater spots almost require a vessel of some kind to fish effectively, but it's hard to complain with the ocean so close  ;D
