Blue Catfish
Looking for some hefty blue catfish in Louisiana? Albany, with its proximity to the Tickfaw River and Lake Maurepas, is a great starting point. These waterways provide excellent habitat for blues, which thrive in the deeper channels and around structure. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are generally the best time to target them, as they become more active. Use heavy tackle and durable bait like cut bait, shad, or even live bream. Many anglers have success drifting along the river channel or anchoring near submerged logs and drop-offs. There are several public boat launches along the Tickfaw River, offering good access. Be prepared for some serious fights, as the blue catfish in this region can reach impressive sizes.
