Blue Catfish
East Point, Georgia, offers surprisingly good access to blue catfish, primarily through the Chattahoochee River. While not a renowned catfish destination, the 'Hooch holds a healthy population of blues that can reach impressive sizes. The best approach is targeting deeper holes and channel edges with cut bait like shad or bream. Look for areas with structure, such as submerged logs or rock piles, as these attract catfish. Spring and fall are particularly good times to fish, as the catfish are actively feeding. A popular access point is near Interstate 285, but be mindful of parking restrictions. Night fishing can also be productive, especially during the warmer months. Be prepared for a good fight, as these catfish can be quite strong. Make sure to check Georgia's fishing regulations for catfish size and creel limits before heading out.
