Blue Catfish
Centre, Alabama, and nearby Weiss Lake offer a great environment to catch blue catfish. Weiss Lake is not just known for crappie; it holds a healthy population of blue cats that can reach impressive sizes. Anglers targeting blues should focus on the main lake channel, submerged structure, and the mouths of creeks. Spring and fall are particularly productive times, as the blues are actively feeding. Cut bait, such as shad or skipjack herring, is the most effective bait. For bank fishermen, the causeway near the dam offers decent access. Boat anglers will find several public ramps around Centre allowing access to various sections of the lake. These fish are known to be aggressive feeders and can be caught using a variety of techniques. It's crucial to use heavy tackle, as the blues in Weiss Lake can put up a serious fight. Be prepared for a battle!
