Blue Catfish
If you're heading to Yatesville, Georgia with Blue Catfish on your mind, you're likely targeting the waters of Lake Jackson. This reservoir on the Ocmulgee River is known for holding some real giants. The best time to chase blues here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they're actively feeding. Pre-spawn (late March-April) and post-spawn (June-July) periods can be particularly productive. Look for them in deeper channels and around submerged timber. A popular tactic is drifting cut bait – shad or herring – along the river channel. Be aware of the numerous boat ramps around the lake, but the public ramp at Berry's Boat Dock offers good access and parking. The lake's water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go to adjust your presentation accordingly. Yatesville blues are known for their size, so be prepared for a good fight!
