Blue Catfish
If you're chasing big blue catfish, Doddsville, Mississippi, and the surrounding Delta region offer excellent potential. The Sunflower River, along with its connected bayous and oxbow lakes, holds a healthy population of these whiskered giants. Look for blues around structure like submerged logs, creek mouths, and deeper holes, particularly after heavy rainfall when the river rises and muddies. Cut bait – shad, skipjack herring, or even chunks of carp – are local favorites. Spring and fall are traditionally the best times to target blues, as they become more active with the cooler water temperatures. Many anglers fish from the bank, but a small boat or kayak can open up access to more remote and productive areas. Be aware of the strong currents in the Sunflower River and exercise caution when navigating. Local tip: Check with area bait shops for the freshest cut bait and up-to-date fishing reports.
