Catfish are a bottom feeding fish, your bait should be on or near the bottom, use a sinker also I have found the best bait for them is chicken livers, I cut them in manageable pieces, so they don't over fill your hook. You can also use a cork but have it set so your line gets to bottom, I prefer the sinker. Good luck.

I tried only a couple of times fishing for them and only had bloodworms at hand, the main bait used for them here. I've seen on youtube videos that chicken livers, especially if old, smelly and cured are the best bait.
Koreans eat all the catfish they catch, so they never get to grow very big. Sadly their not like the huge beast in the US and UK.
