Good catfish spots?

I'm still deployed at the moment but will be home this summer and looking forward to trying out my kayak for the first time. Haven't fished for catfish in a while and would like to take my kid out with me for some catfish fun.

Can anyone recommend any good spots to try for some good size cats? I know clear Lake is good but I've never fished there and it's a pretty big Lake.

Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Clear Lake is an amazing catfish fishery. Try south end of the lake in Cache Creek. Use you fish finder to graph the deep holes and you'll find them.

Unfortunately I don't yet have a fish finder. But I'll go and give it a try anyway. Is there a place to launch at the south end of the lake that you are talking about?

Launch at Redbud and head south around indian island and that is the mouth of Cache Creek. Paddle in the main channel and go up at least a mile. Fish on the bends, that is where I usually find deeper water. Have caught many cats in there from 12-20 pounds.

Clear lake!

Awesome thanks for the tips! I really appreciate it.  So I'm guessing I'll need an anchor to sit on those spots?

MolonLabe916 hit me up when you get home. I will fish with you.

Depending where you are on the creek you can paddle your kayak partially into the cattails or tie off on shore to a limb, tree or stump. Lots of places to tie off to on shore and cast to deep water.

The delta has Channel cats, Blue cats and Flathead cats I have caught them in most of the Delta. Its always a good place to try.
But Clearlake has some Quality cats.

Roger that sarge. Sounds good to me.

And thanks for the tips guys. Much appreciated.

I don't know much about catfishing, but thank you for your service!

Thanks for your support! We do what we can out here. Which hasn't been a whole lot up until trump got in of course. Now we are actually takin care of business!  Goes to show you how much can change when you go from a pussy of a president who is only there to collect a pay check, to someone who wants to get shit done and ACTUALLY DOES IT.

Sorry to get political but I've just seen and experienced too much shit go on in the last 8 years that we weren't allowed to do anything about.

Anyway. Thanks again for the help guys. Looking forward to getting home for some long overdue leave.  I'll definitely be cashing in on sarge's offer and I'll be sure to post up when I figuess out what date I'll be fishing in case anyone else wants to meet up. 

Thanks for the service brother! I feel your sentiment about our past Cmdr-in Chief. I felt the same way when I served from Bush to Clinton. Anyways yes Clear Lake is the place for quality catfish and crappies. There's a launch site at the south end by the SRA campsite. Good luck, see you on the water someday.

if you are taking your kids out to fish and just to have fun at clear lake and not consume the fish, Crappies would be a better choice. I've heard crappies are abundant all over the lake and they are a blast to catch. well, whatever species you go after, you should have fun regardless with your kids.
thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service as well sir! And thanks for the tips.

I hear the crappie go pretty deep there in the summers. Is that true or are they still found in their usual spots around structure?
