Channels in NE MN

[bigstu12]

I just started out fishin for cats up on the St.Louis river and the cloquet. Is there any basic info. that i should know. I dont need any secret baits or honey holes (but i woulnt turn em down ) just stuff to get me jump started. None of the bait shops that ive been to seem to know much about these fish. Any info. will be much appreciated

I fished out of floodwood many times and went to catfish days before most minnesotans even thought of trying it!There channels,I always used night crawlers,then after living downsouth moving back I tried suckers cut up worked great also live ones work I fished from shore so I was limited I'd just find a spot close to the road and fished never caught alot at once but I always caught some.If your near the Kettle river thats really great catin!If ya can find a eddy fish there even if its only 2ft. deep ues enough weight to keep it on bottom,lots a rock snags up there!
