Blue Catfish
The Colorado River near Somerton, Arizona, offers excellent opportunities for blue catfish. This river system provides ample habitat and food for these whiskered giants. The best time to target blues is during the warmer months (late spring through fall), when they are actively feeding. They are opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits can be effective. Cut bait, such as shad or carp, is a popular choice. A local tip: focus on deeper holes and channels, especially near structure like submerged trees or rock piles. Blues often congregate in these areas, waiting for an easy meal. Access to the river is available through various boat ramps and shoreline access points. Blue catfish in this region can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 40 pounds, so be sure to use heavy tackle and be prepared for a tough fight. Night fishing can be particularly productive.
