If you're after some whiskered giants, the reservoirs near Bisbee, Arizona, hold populations of blue catfish, offering a unique angling opportunity in the desert southwest. While not as abundant as in some other regions, these catfish can reach impressive sizes. Summer is a good time to target blue catfish, as they are more active in warmer water. Focus on deeper areas of the reservoirs, particularly near channels and drop-offs. Cut bait is the most popular bait for blue catfish, with shad, perch, or even commercially prepared catfish baits being effective choices. A heavy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can put up a strong fight. One local tip is to use a Carolina rig with a long leader to keep your bait on the bottom. Also, be prepared for hot weather and bring plenty of water. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on catfish activity.
