[Tennessee Fisherman]

I am going to fish for catfish.

I am going to be using nitecrawlers probably.

I am going to be in middle tennessee in a small lake.

What kind of rig do i need to use?

Can you show me a picture or video?

Just use bigger hooks heavy test line and let your bait sink to the bottom somewhere not to deep.crack open a cold one and chill. catfishing is easy!
Percy Priest by any chance?

A typical slip sinker rig would probably be pretty good

A good rig for both shore and drift fishing from a boat for channel cats is the sliding sinker or slip sinker rig. There are many variations of this rig but the basic idea is a 12 to 18 inch leader with a kaley style #4 to #2/0 hook on the business end. Thread either a barrel sinker of your choice or a sinker-slide through your line and a small plastic bead then tie a swivel to the end of it. Tie a loop to the end of the hook leader and snap it on to the end of your line. The plastic bead keeps the line from being damaged by the sinker. With the snap swivel you can quickly change hook sizes by simply having extra hook leaders tied up. If you use the sinker slide (a tubular device with a snap on it found in most tackle shops) you can change weights quickly.

Go to a dam. Best catfish you will find are near dams.
