Yes this is correct. Catfish are naturally nocturnal, especially the big ones. Not saying they can't be caught during the day but your chances go way up at night. I've caught some nice cats out of Marrowbone. Caught a 20 lb channel cat there and a blue or 2 in the 20 lb + range. Its really stacked with eating size catfish and you can easily put together a nice stringer... Little guys like nightcrawlers or liver. The bigs like cut bait or live bream.. Skipjack is always my preferred cut bait for big cats. I absolutely love fishing Marrowbone lake, its clean, lots of fish and no yahoos in speed boats a jet skis waking you every 5 minutes.
