Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Leeds, Alabama, puts you in proximity to some excellent freshwater opportunities. The Coosa River, easily accessible from several points near Leeds, is a prime location. Its deep channels and plentiful structure provide ideal habitat for blues. Logan Martin Lake, a Coosa River impoundment, is also a popular choice. Look for blues congregating near creek mouths and along the main river channel, especially where there's a good current. Spring and fall are particularly productive, as the water temperatures are moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Summer nights can also be rewarding. For bank access, explore the areas around the Highway 78 bridge over the Coosa. Be aware of strong currents, especially after heavy rains. Cut shad is a classic bait, but consider experimenting with live bream for larger specimens. The blue catfish in this area are known to reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a fight!
