Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Lithonia, Georgia, requires a bit of strategy, as the local waterways aren't as well-known for huge trophy cats as some other parts of the state. However, the South River and its tributaries hold decent populations of smaller to medium-sized blue cats. Focus your efforts in deeper holes and around structure like fallen trees or submerged rocks. Cut bait, such as shad or bream, is a reliable choice. Late spring and early fall often produce the best results. Access to the South River can be challenging in some areas, so research access points carefully. Consider using a kayak or canoe to reach more remote and less-fished areas. Be aware of changing water levels, especially after heavy rains, which can impact fishing conditions and safety.
