Blue Catfish
For anglers seeking blue catfish near Sedgwick, Arkansas, the Black River offers a promising fishery. This river system, known for its nutrient-rich waters and diverse habitat, supports a healthy population of blue catfish. The best time to target blues here is from late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are warmer and the fish are actively feeding. Focus your efforts on deep holes, river bends, and areas with submerged structure like fallen trees or rock piles. Cut bait, such as shad or skipjack herring, is a popular and effective bait choice. A practical tip for fishing the Black River is to access the river via the public boat ramp near Black Rock; from there, you can navigate upstream or downstream to find promising fishing spots. Be aware of changing water levels, as the river can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains. The blue catfish in the Black River are known for their impressive size and fighting ability, so be prepared for a challenging and rewarding fishing experience.
