Blue Catfish
If you're after trophy-sized blue catfish, Corning, Arkansas, offers excellent opportunities. The Black River, which flows near Corning, is a prime location, known for its healthy population of blues. The best time to target these giants is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, especially during their spawning season. Look for areas with deep holes, submerged timber, and sharp bends in the river, as these are typical catfish haunts. Night fishing can be particularly productive. A useful tip is to access the Black River via the public boat ramp at the end of County Road 335. Be aware of strong currents and fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rainfall. Local anglers often use cut bait, shad, or prepared catfish baits for the best results. The blue catfish in this area are known for their impressive size, so be prepared for a serious fight!
