Blue Catfish
Attalla, Alabama, offers some excellent blue catfish action, primarily in the Coosa River and its impoundments like Neely Henry Lake. These waters are known for holding some impressive blues. Targeting them often involves fishing deep holes and channels with cut bait, particularly shad or skipjack if you can find it. Spring and fall are great times to fish for them, as they are actively feeding, but blues can be caught year-round with the right techniques. A local tip: many anglers have success drifting cut bait along the river channel using a three-way swivel rig. Be mindful of the current and adjust your weight accordingly. Also, familiarize yourself with the local regulations regarding size and creel limits. Neely Henry Lake has a reputation for producing trophy-sized blue catfish, so come prepared with heavy tackle!
