Blue Catfish
If you're after a Blue Catfish in the Eastborough, Kansas area, the Kansas River (Kaw) is your best bet. While not always easy to catch, the Kaw holds some impressive blues. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, especially late spring through early fall. Look for deep holes, channel bends, and areas near submerged structure. Cut bait is the go-to choice for most anglers, with shad and skipjack herring being particularly effective. Stinkbaits can also work well. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can get quite large. Many anglers fish from the bank near Lawrence, just west of Eastborough, where there is decent public access. Be aware of strong currents and potential snags. Night fishing can be particularly productive, as the big blues tend to be more active after dark.
