Blue Catfish
Anglers seeking blue catfish near La Grange, Kentucky, should set their sights on the larger rivers in the region, notably the Ohio River. These rivers hold impressive populations of blue cats, some reaching considerable sizes. Targeting these giants is best done during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they are actively feeding to prepare for the spawn. Cut bait, particularly skipjack herring or gizzard shad, is the go-to bait for blues. Focus on deep holes, channel edges, and areas with strong current. A heavy rod and reel are essential, as blue cats are powerful fighters. Be prepared to anchor securely, as the current can be strong. A local secret is to fish near the mouths of tributary creeks, as these areas often concentrate baitfish and attract hungry catfish. Remember to handle these magnificent fish with care and practice catch-and-release to help sustain the fishery.
