Blue Catfish
While Beverly Hills itself doesn't offer blue catfish opportunities, dedicated anglers can find them within a reasonable drive in the larger reservoirs of Southern California. Much like striped bass fishing near Beverly Hills, you'll need to venture out a bit. Lake Perris, for example, is known to hold some impressive blue catfish. Targeting these giants requires a different approach than channel cats. Large cut bait, such as mackerel or shad, is the go-to. Focus on deeper water, especially near the dam or submerged channels. Summer is generally the best time, with nighttime fishing being particularly productive. A heavy-duty rod and reel are essential, as blue catfish can grow to significant sizes. A pro tip: check the local fishing reports for any recent blue catfish catches to pinpoint the most productive areas. Also, be aware of the specific regulations for each lake, as some may have size or gear restrictions. Releasing these large fish is crucial for maintaining the fishery.
