Blue Catfish
While not as common as their channel cat cousins, blue catfish can be found in the waterways near Kerman, CA. The California Aqueduct, with its deeper sections and varied structure, is your best bet for targeting blues. These fish tend to be more predatory than channel cats, so try using cut bait, live baitfish (where legal), or larger artificial lures. Focus your efforts during the warmer months, especially in the evenings and at night. Look for areas where the current is slower or where there are submerged structures. Be prepared for a serious fight, as blue catfish can grow to impressive sizes. Access to the aqueduct can be challenging in some areas, so scout ahead and be prepared to walk. Always check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits.
