Blue Catfish
For anglers seeking the thrill of battling big blue catfish, Cordova, Alabama, and the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River should be on your radar. This section of the river is known for holding some impressive blues, often exceeding 50 pounds. Focus your efforts on deep holes, channel edges, and areas with current near the river bends. Cut bait, such as shad or skipjack herring, is the bait of choice for these giants. Summer and early fall are peak seasons, with the warmer water temperatures triggering increased feeding activity. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are powerful. There are several boat ramps along the Mulberry Fork, providing easy access to prime fishing areas. A local tip: Drift fishing with a controlled drift rig can be highly effective for covering a lot of water and locating actively feeding catfish. Also, be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for blue catfish.
