Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish around Blue Eye, Arkansas, can be a rewarding experience, particularly in Bull Shoals Lake. This massive reservoir offers the depth and forage base needed to grow truly impressive blues. Anglers often have success fishing the deeper channels and flats near the dam, as well as around submerged timber and rocky points. The best time to target these whiskered giants is during the late spring and early summer spawning season, or during the fall when they actively feed to prepare for winter. A key local tip is to use fresh, oily bait such as cut shad or skipjack herring. Drifting these baits along the bottom or fishing them on juglines can be highly effective. Be prepared for a fight – Bull Shoals blues are known for their power and size. Also, check lake levels and water conditions before heading out, as they can fluctuate significantly.
