Blue Catfish
If you're hunting for trophy Blue Catfish in North Georgia, Chatsworth offers some promising options. The Coosawattee River and its impoundments, like Carters Lake, are your best bets. Carters Lake, in particular, is known for holding some truly massive blues, thanks to its deep, clear waters and abundant forage. Targeting these giants is best in the cooler months – late fall through early spring – when the big cats are actively feeding to prepare for the spawn or recover afterward. For bank access, check out the areas around the Carters Lake Dam or the various recreation areas. If you're launching a boat, the ramps at Doll Mountain or Ridgeway Park are well-maintained. Local tip: Pay attention to water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly, impacting access and fish behavior. When fishing Carters, focus on deeper water near submerged timber or channel edges. They're ambush predators and love structure.
