Blue Catfish
Looking for a whiskered giant near Summerdale, Alabama? Blue catfish lurk in the deeper channels of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. This network of waterways offers plenty of structure and forage for blues to thrive. The colder months, particularly late fall and winter, are typically the most productive, as the fish tend to congregate in deeper holes. During warmer months, focus on areas with current. Cut bait, particularly shad or mullet, is the go-to bait for targeting these big cats. For bank access, check out some of the public access points along the rivers, but a boat is highly recommended to reach the best fishing spots. Be prepared for a fight – these catfish are strong! A local tip: use a fish finder to locate deeper holes and submerged structure where the blues are likely holding. Also, heavier gear is a must – these fish can easily break lighter lines.
