Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Muldraugh, Kentucky, means focusing on the Ohio River, which is the area's premier catfish destination. While not directly in Muldraugh, the Ohio River is easily accessible and offers excellent catfishing opportunities. The best time to target blue catfish is typically from late spring through fall. Look for them in deep holes, along channel edges, and near structure like fallen trees and bridge pilings. Cut bait, live bait (such as shad or skipjack), and prepared stink baits are all effective. Heavy tackle is essential, as blue catfish can grow to impressive sizes. Bank fishing access is available at several points along the Ohio River, including boat ramps and public parks. Boating is the preferred method for accessing the best fishing spots. Be aware of strong currents and boat traffic on the Ohio River. Local anglers often have success fishing near the confluence of smaller creeks and streams with the Ohio River, as these areas tend to attract catfish.
