Blue Catfish
The Sabine River near Merryville, Louisiana, is a solid destination for targeting blue catfish. This river system supports a healthy population of blues, with opportunities for both smaller eating-sized fish and larger trophy specimens. The best time to fish for blue catfish is typically from late spring through fall. Blues are opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits can be effective, including cut shad, skipjack herring, or even prepared catfish baits. A local's secret is to target deeper holes and channels in the river, especially those near outside bends. Using a fish finder to locate submerged structure can also improve your chances. Be aware of the river's current, which can be strong at times, requiring heavier weights to keep your bait on the bottom. Several public boat ramps provide access to the Sabine River around Merryville, allowing anglers to explore different sections of the river. The blue catfish in this area are known for their powerful runs, so be sure to have your drag set accordingly.
