Blue Catfish
If you're after Blue Catfish near North High Shoals, Georgia, you'll want to focus your attention on the nearby rivers and reservoirs of the Oconee River basin. Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair, both within reasonable driving distance, are known for holding good numbers of blues. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Look for blues around deeper channels, submerged timber, and near the dam structures in these reservoirs. Cut bait, such as shad or herring, is your best bet. A practical tip is to check the Georgia DNR fishing reports for recent stocking information and water levels before heading out. You can find good public access points and boat ramps at several locations around Lake Oconee. Be prepared for some larger fish; these lakes have the potential to produce trophy-sized blues.
