Hey there. Get your on post fishing permit and head to mckellars lake or wyatt lake, use liver, worms or shrimp and youll catch a ton of channel cats.

Jordan lake is FULL of catfish. Go late evenings and set up on a point and use shrimp/ chicken livers, cut bait and you should do well.

Also look for lakes in the Community Fishing Program.

The state stocks those lakes with eating sized channel catfish

Bass Lake in Holly Springs has some decent catfishing--usually pull in about 10-15 an hour on nightcrawlers (1-2 pounders, nothing big but good for kids!) Going to be about an hour from you.

Not sure how far you are from the Cape Fear River, but it has plenty. Cut shad/perch/bream all work as well as live.

Take a kid outdoors!
