Blue Catfish
Looking to tangle with some blue catfish near Ashburn, Georgia? While channel cats are more common in the immediate vicinity, with some effort, you can find blues in the larger waterways. The Flint River, a bit of a drive from Ashburn, is your best bet for targeting blue catfish. Winter and early spring are productive times, as the blues tend to congregate in deeper holes. A heavier rod and reel are essential for these powerful fish. Fresh cut bait, like shad or mullet, is the go-to bait. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating submerged structure and deep holes where blues like to hang out. Be prepared for a good fight – these fish can reach impressive sizes. Always double-check the fishing regulations regarding size and possession limits before you head out to the Flint River.
