Blue Catfish
If you're after some serious whiskered giants, Fultondale, Alabama, is worth a look for blue catfish. The Black Warrior River, easily accessible from several points around Fultondale, is the key. This river system is known for producing some hefty blues, with many fish exceeding 50 pounds. Focus your efforts on areas with deep channels, structure like submerged timber, and current breaks. Spring and fall are prime times, as the blues become more active with the moderating water temperatures. For bank access, try the areas around Walker Chapel Road bridge or look for public access points along the river. A sturdy rod and reel are a must, along with heavy line. Cut bait, especially shad or skipjack herring, are local favorites. Be prepared for a battle; these fish can put up a real fight!
