Blue Catfish
If you're after some hard-fighting blue catfish, the waters around Clio, Alabama, won't disappoint. The Chattahoochee River is the primary destination, known for its healthy population of blues, some reaching impressive sizes. Targeting deep holes and channels with cut bait is a classic and effective approach. Skipjack herring, if you can find it, is a top choice. Summer nights are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active in the cooler water. For bank access, try areas near public boat ramps and bridges. Be aware that the river can have strong currents, so use appropriate weights to keep your bait on the bottom. A local tip: invest in a good quality fish finder to locate deep holes and structure where catfish congregate. Also, be prepared for a long wait – catfish fishing often requires patience. Bring a comfortable chair and some good company.
