Re: Delaware catfish?
.
I never fish that far South, so I can only speak for the Delaware River in North Jersey where the water can get gin-clear in the summer and fall when the flows are low.
I have never caught a Channel Cat in the bright sunlight from the shoreline. I have found cats in clear water to be crepuscular and nearly always hit in the evening after the sun stops shining on the water.
Catfish are a lot more likely to hit in the day time if the water has a degree of turbidity to it. It doesn't have to look like chocolate milk, just a bit murky.
