Blue Catfish
Belzoni, Mississippi, sits in the heart of catfish country, and that means excellent blue catfish opportunities. The Yazoo River and its connected waterways are home to some truly massive blues. Targeting them here involves patience and a good understanding of the river system. The best time to fish for blues is typically spring and fall, when the water temperatures are moderate. Look for deep holes, river bends, and areas with current breaks. Cut bait, particularly skipjack herring or shad if you can find it, is the go-to bait. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can put up a serious fight. Several public boat ramps provide access to the Yazoo River near Belzoni. Be mindful of the river current and navigation hazards. Local anglers often use drift fishing techniques to cover more ground and locate active fish. Trophy blues are a real possibility here.
