Blue Catfish
While not as widely known as other Kentucky fisheries, Sandy Hook offers a unique opportunity to target Blue Catfish in Cave Run Lake. This large reservoir is home to a growing population of blues, offering anglers a chance to catch some truly impressive fish. The deeper sections of the lake, particularly near the dam and in the main river channel, are prime locations. Summer and fall are generally the best times, as the fish are actively feeding. Using fresh cut bait, such as shad or skipjack herring, is crucial. A heavy-duty rod and reel are essential, as these fish can reach impressive sizes. Many anglers find success drift fishing these baits along the bottom. Be sure to check the local regulations regarding size and creel limits. Cave Run is also known for its beautiful scenery, making for a memorable fishing experience.
