Blue Catfish
Looking to hook into some hefty blue catfish? The Altamaha River near Jesup, Georgia, is a prime location. This river is known for its healthy population of blue cats, with opportunities to catch both eating-size fish and true trophies. Winter and early spring are excellent times to target blues, as they tend to congregate in deeper holes during the cooler months. Cut bait, such as shad or mullet, is a highly effective bait. Focus your efforts on the main river channel, targeting areas with current breaks, deep holes, and submerged structure. A sturdy rod and reel combo with at least 30 lb test line is recommended. Several public boat ramps provide access to the Altamaha, but be mindful of potential hazards like submerged trees and strong currents. The blue catfish in the Altamaha are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making for an exciting angling experience. Be sure to check the current Georgia fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
