I go about 1 hour before sundown and stay til 3 am and never even get a bite. I use a slip rig method for fishing the bottom with some 2 day old chicken liver. Even tried useing a chum bag. Tried nightcrawlers and doughbaits but nothing. I am positive that my rig and bait are set up right. PLEASE HELP!!!! I fish in a 177 acre resorvoir on the banks for catfish.

Spots where they may be located in the lake in the morning or evening are not where they are located when its hot in the middle of the day. Another factor not mentioned that can make cats stop biting for a while is the spawn. The person didn't say where they were located, water temp, etc. but if the conditions are right for the spawn that can mess up what would regularly be a really good fishing spot. It happens to me every summer and takes a couple of weeks before the bite picks back up.
