Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Marana, Arizona, means heading to the larger reservoirs and rivers within a reasonable drive. While Marana itself lacks major waterways, anglers often make the trip to Lake Pleasant or the lower reaches of the Salt River. These areas offer the depth and structure that blues prefer. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are prime time as the fish become more active in search of food. Summer can still produce, but you'll need to fish deeper and at night. A key local tip is to use fresh cut bait – shad or carp if available – as blues in Arizona respond well to strong scents. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding live bait and catch limits at your chosen destination. Lake Pleasant, in particular, can get crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly or fish during the week for better access.
