Blue Catfish
If you're targeting trophy blue catfish, Central City, Kentucky, offers some excellent freshwater opportunities. The Green River is the primary draw, known for its healthy population of blues, some reaching impressive sizes. Anglers often find success fishing near submerged structure, deep holes, and along the river bends. Spring and fall are arguably the best times to target blues here, as they become more active with the moderating water temperatures. During the spawn in late spring/early summer, focus on shallow flats near deeper water. For bank access, check out the areas around Rochester Dam, but be mindful of the currents. A local tip: using cut shad or skipjack herring as bait is a proven method for attracting the larger blue cats in the Green River. Remember to check Kentucky's fishing regulations for size and creel limits before heading out.
