Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Pea Ridge, Arkansas, can be a rewarding experience, especially if you're patient. While not as abundant as in some other parts of the state, Beaver Lake offers opportunities for landing some impressive blues. The best time to fish for them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Blues tend to congregate in deeper channels and around structure like submerged trees and rock piles. A key to success here is using fresh, oily bait – cut shad or skipjack herring are local favorites. Many anglers find success fishing at night, especially during the summer. A practical tip is to use sturdy tackle, as the blues in Beaver Lake can reach significant sizes. Check lake levels before heading out, as access to some boat ramps can be affected by water levels.
