Blue Catfish
If you're after trophy blue catfish, Benton, Louisiana, offers some fantastic opportunities. The Red River is the primary waterway here, known for its healthy population of blues. Fish can be found throughout the river, but targeting areas near submerged timber, deep holes, and channel edges is key. Spring and fall are arguably the best times to target these giants, as they become more active during these periods. Warmer water temperatures in the summer can also produce, but you'll need to adjust your tactics. For bank access, consider the public areas around the Shreveport-Barksdale Highway Bridge. If you're launching a boat, the Red River South Recreation Area offers a convenient ramp. Be aware that the Red River can experience significant fluctuations in water level, so check local conditions before heading out. Locals often use cut shad or skipjack herring for bait, so stock up before you hit the water. Some real monsters lurk in these waters, so be sure to bring heavy tackle.
