Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish around Glenview Hills, Kentucky, means focusing on the mighty Ohio River. This river system is renowned for its large catfish, and blues are a major draw. The best time to fish for them is typically from late spring through fall, especially after periods of heavy rain that can wash bait into the river. Look for blues around deep holes, channel edges, and areas with current breaks, like bridge pilings or submerged structure. A key local tip is to use fresh, oily bait like cut shad or skipjack herring. These baits release a strong scent that attracts catfish from a distance. Be prepared for a fight – these fish can get very large. Also, be aware of commercial navigation traffic on the Ohio River and fish responsibly, giving barges and other vessels plenty of room. The blue catfish fishery in this area is robust, offering the potential for trophy-sized catches.
