Lots of good info on here, several posts that already cover that question.
As stated by Big O, list a little more info and you will get a lot more feedback on your question.
I fish for catfish every weeek and I will be more than happy to provide some info.

Get a 2/0 hook, go to your local grocery store and buy chicken livers. Put a chicken liver on the hook, throw it out whereever you are fishing. Let it sit on the bottom for 45 minutes, if you have yet to catch something, move to a different spot. That is the best advice I can give with the limited info we know about where you will be fishing.

For Channel and Blue cats fish the edges of curent breaks in rivers and larger creeks. Use worms of fresh cut baits. Fish on the bottom using a slip sinker rig. Use a weight heavy enough to keep the bait on the bottom, tie on a swivel, then a 16 inch leader with a hook. This lets the bait drift just above the bottom in the current. Choose a hook size to match the size of the catfish you wish to catch. For frying cats up to 3-4 pounds I generally use a number 4 eagle claw.
For Flatheads fish eddy areas with live bait suspended just off the bottom. I like 3-4 inch bream, generally fished on an eagle claw 6/0 live bait hook. At night I tie out limb lines in the same holes using 6-8 inch bream and 10/0 to 12/0 hooks. We regularly catch big flatheads that way up to the 40 - 50 pound range along with a few big blue's and channels.
If you can't catch Mr. Wiskers with this info I don't know what else to tell you...

Heres something.I used to use chicken liver and it worked well for a couple of years , untill the store was out and i had to get beef liver.10 mins into fishing i found that the catfish couldnt get enough.Plus the beef liver is fattier and stays on the hook better.
