Blue Catfish
The Ohio River near Warsaw, Kentucky, offers excellent opportunities for targeting blue catfish. This section of the river holds a healthy population of these whiskered giants. The most productive fishing typically occurs from late spring through fall, with the warmer months seeing the most activity. Look for deep holes, channel edges, and areas with strong current. Cut bait is the go-to choice, with skipjack herring, shad, or even commercially prepared catfish bait proving effective. A three-way rig or a Carolina rig are popular choices for presenting your bait on the bottom. Be sure to use heavy tackle, as blue catfish can grow to impressive sizes. Public boat ramps in Warsaw provide convenient access to the river. Be aware of fluctuating river levels and strong currents, especially after heavy rainfall. The blue catfish in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so hold on tight!
