Blue Catfish
Marion, Mississippi, provides excellent access to some of the best Blue Catfish waters in the state. The mighty Tombigbee River, part of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, is a renowned destination for targeting trophy blues. Anglers often find success fishing the deeper channels and holes, especially near structure like fallen trees and submerged ledges. Spring and early summer, during the pre-spawn and spawn, can be particularly productive. Cut bait, especially shad or skipjack herring if you can find it, is a local favorite. One practical tip is to use a fish finder to locate submerged structure; these areas often hold the biggest cats. The river currents can be strong, so heavier weights are often necessary to keep your bait on the bottom. Blue catfish in the Tombigbee are known to reach impressive sizes, so be sure to bring your heavy gear!
