Blue Catfish
If you're targeting Blue Catfish in the Bono, Arkansas area, you'll be primarily fishing the nearby rivers and creeks that feed into the larger waterways of Northeast Arkansas. The Cache River, with its deep holes and abundant structure, is a popular choice. Spring and early summer, particularly after periods of heavy rainfall that raise the water levels and stir up the bottom, can be incredibly productive. Blues tend to move into shallower areas to feed during these times. For bank access, try the public areas around bridge crossings on the Cache River. Remember that the water can be murky, so using strong-scented baits like cut shad or prepared catfish baits is crucial. Blues in this region can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a fight and use appropriate tackle. Be mindful of the regulations regarding size and possession limits, as they can vary depending on the specific water body you're fishing.
