Blue Catfish
For blue catfish angling near Centerton, Arkansas, Beaver Lake is your primary destination. Beaver Lake holds a healthy population of blue cats, some reaching impressive sizes. The deeper sections of the lake, particularly near the dam and in the old river channel, are prime areas to target them. Summer and fall are generally the best times, as the fish are actively feeding. Use a fish finder to locate submerged structure and baitfish schools, as blue cats are often nearby. Cut bait, such as shad or skipjack herring, is a highly effective bait. Drifting or anchoring and fishing on the bottom are common techniques. The Prairie Creek Recreation Area offers good boat launching facilities and access to prime catfish waters. Be prepared for a potential all-night outing, as blue catfish are often most active after dark. Remember to check Arkansas fishing regulations regarding size and possession limits for catfish.
