Blue Catfish
If you're after some hefty blue catfish, the freshwater systems around Welsh, Louisiana, offer some promising opportunities. The network of canals and the Mermentau River itself hold decent populations of blues. Targeting them in the deeper holes and bends of the river is a good starting point. Spring and summer are prime times, with the pre-spawn and spawning periods offering the best action. Use cut bait – shad or mullet work well – and fish it on the bottom with a Carolina rig. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can reach impressive sizes. Access to the river is available at several public boat launches, but be mindful of the water levels, which can fluctuate. A local tip: Talk to the folks at the local bait shops; they often have up-to-date information on where the blues are biting and what they're biting on. Don't be afraid to experiment with different baits and locations until you find what works best.
