Blue Catfish
If you're after blue catfish, the waters around Oak Ridge, Louisiana, should be on your radar. The Tensas River and its associated waterways are ideal for targeting these whiskered giants. Winter and early spring are often the most productive times, as cooler water temperatures concentrate catfish in deeper holes. Using cut bait, such as shad or skipjack herring, is a proven method. A local tip: Focus on areas with current breaks or submerged timber. Anglers often find success fishing near the mouths of creeks or bayous that feed into the main river channel. Blue catfish in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon. Be sure to use heavy tackle and strong hooks to handle these powerful fish. Public access is available at various points along the Tensas River, but be prepared for potentially muddy conditions, especially after rainfall. The blue catfish fishery here is robust, offering a chance at a trophy catch.
