Blue Catfish

If you're targeting blue catfish in Georgia, Warrenton offers some excellent freshwater opportunities. The Ogeechee River, flowing nearby, is a prime spot known for its healthy blue catfish population. These fish can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a fight! The best time to fish for blues here is typically spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Blues are more active as they feed up before and after the heat of summer. For bank access, try areas around bridges and public access points along the Ogeechee. Keep an eye on the river levels, as blues often move into shallower areas during periods of stable or slightly rising water. Local anglers often have success using cut bait like shad or bream, fished on the bottom with a Carolina rig.
