catfish wont lay eggs without structure to g inside to have them im curious if a few lakes near me have any logs or structure for them to actually reproduce.

i think that could be why its so hard to find them due to them not breeding or maybe only having 1 spot to do it was curious of some good things i could use to throw into the water so they could have a place to go lay there eggs and increase there population

Catfish are cavity spawners. They have been known to tunnel their own cavity.
