Blue Catfish
Doyline, Louisiana, sitting near the shores of Lake Bistineau, is a fantastic location for chasing hefty blue catfish. Lake Bistineau itself is the primary draw, offering expansive waters and plenty of structure where blues thrive. Target submerged creek channels, humps, and the edges of the timber. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions, with the blues actively feeding as water temperatures moderate. Summer nights can also produce impressive catches. The Loggy Bayou Wildlife Management Area offers several boat launches providing excellent access to different parts of the lake. Be aware of stumps and shallow areas, especially when navigating in the northern part of the lake. Local tip: Cut bait, particularly shad or skipjack herring, is deadly on Bistineau blue cats. Drift fishing with a Santee Cooper rig is a popular and effective technique. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits, as they can vary.
