Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Cave Spring, Georgia, offers a unique experience due to the proximity of the Coosa River system. While smaller creeks and ponds hold some blues, the Coosa River and its impoundments like Weiss Lake (just across the state line in Alabama) are your best bet for larger specimens. Spring and fall are prime times, as the blues are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. Focus on deeper holes and channel edges, especially near structure like submerged timber or rock piles. A local tip: many anglers launch from the numerous boat ramps along the Coosa in nearby Rome, GA, and then head upstream. Be aware of current fluctuations, especially after heavy rains. The blue catfish in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits from cut shad to chicken livers can be effective. Expect a good fight – these Coosa River blues are known for their stamina!
