You're not alone, I did a night trip Friday and an evening trip Saturday and actually got skunked Saturday while my FIL got two mini channels that I'm surprised could get hooked since they were so small. I did better Friday and I think I caught 8 fish with a pair in the mid twenties, but most were smaller fish. Time of day was key that trip, I got fish from 9:30 to 2:30 when I ran out of bait. Gorgeous full moon night and you can still see daylight up to 11:15 ish.
Don't believe the big bait big fish line, sometimes it means no fish and constant pestering from the small fish. Also the cut bait won't stop the mudcats. It's just the time of year now, it's the doldrums of catfish season. Cutler is definitely not on fire, but with enough time and patience you can get a few average fish. Lot of kittens around this year and they seem to be everywhere. I'm still looking for the secret to summer Cattin but it's not as easy as the spring fling that's for sure. Good luck. J
