Blue Catfish
While not a primary destination for blue catfish, anglers around La Habra, CA, can find opportunities to target them in larger reservoirs and waterways within a reasonable drive. Think of heading towards Lake Perris or Diamond Valley Lake in Riverside County. These larger bodies of water have the depth and forage base to support catfish populations, including blues. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with nighttime fishing often proving most productive. Cut bait, such as mackerel or sardines, is a proven tactic. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as blue catfish can grow to impressive sizes. Be aware that access to some areas may require a park entrance fee or a fishing license. Consider using a fish finder to locate deeper holes and channels where catfish tend to congregate.
