Blue Catfish
Looking to tangle with some serious whiskerfish in northern Alabama? Mentone, AL, nestled near the Lookout Mountain range, offers surprisingly good blue catfish opportunities. Focus your efforts on the nearby Weiss Lake, a Coosa River impoundment known for its healthy population of blues. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the catfish move into shallower waters to spawn. Drifting cut bait, especially shad or skipjack herring, along the river channel edges and around submerged timber is a proven tactic. Be prepared for some hefty fish; Weiss Lake blues can reach impressive sizes. Access is readily available via numerous public boat ramps around the lake. A local tip: Pay attention to wind direction; a sustained wind can create productive current lines along the main lake points. Also, consider using heavier tackle than you might normally employ, as the lake has plenty of submerged structure.
