Blue Catfish
If you're after a trophy catfish, the waters around Ponchatoula offer excellent opportunities for blue catfish. The Tangipahoa River and its connected waterways are home to some impressive specimens. What sets this area apart is the abundance of natural forage and structure, allowing blues to grow to substantial sizes. The best time to target blue catfish is typically late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around deeper holes, submerged timber, and channel bends. Cut bait, such as shad or mullet, is a proven choice. A practical tip: use a sturdy rod and reel, as blue catfish can put up a serious fight.
