Blue Catfish
Epps, Louisiana, puts you in a good position to chase some hefty blue catfish in the Tensas River basin. This area is known for producing some truly impressive blues. The river's deep holes and abundant forage create ideal conditions for them to thrive. Focus your efforts on the deeper bends of the river, particularly those with plenty of submerged structure like fallen trees and log jams. Winter and early spring can be particularly productive, as the cooler water concentrates the fish. Cut bait, especially shad or skipjack herring, is the go-to bait. Heavier tackle is a must when targeting these powerful fish. Be aware that the Tensas River can be challenging to navigate due to changing water levels and submerged hazards. Always check local conditions before heading out. The public ramp off Highway 135 provides decent access.
