Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Pewee Valley, Kentucky, means focusing on the Ohio River and its larger tributaries like the Salt River. These waterways offer the deep channels and structure that blues prefer. While they can be caught year-round, the pre-spawn period in late spring (April-May) and the fall months (September-November) are typically most productive as the fish actively feed. Look for blues around submerged timber, deep holes near current breaks, and the mouths of creeks entering the main river. A popular access point is the boat ramp at Westport, providing direct access to the Ohio River. Be aware that river levels can fluctuate dramatically, so check conditions before heading out. Locally, cut bait such as skipjack herring or shad is highly effective, especially when fished on a Carolina rig or three-way swivel rig near the bottom. Blues in this area can reach impressive sizes, with many exceeding 50 pounds.
