Blue Catfish
If you're chasing trophy blue catfish in Mississippi, New Augusta offers some fantastic opportunities. The Leaf River, which flows near town, is a prime location. Its deep holes and abundant structure create ideal habitat for blues. Spring and early summer are particularly productive as catfish move upstream to spawn. Fishing around submerged timber, bridge pilings, and sharp bends in the river is often successful. For bank access, try areas near the Highway 98 bridge or explore some of the smaller county roads that run alongside the river. Be aware that the Leaf River can be prone to flooding after heavy rains, so check local water levels before heading out. Cut bait, live shad, and commercial catfish baits are all effective choices here. Don't be surprised if you hook into a real monster – the Leaf River is known for producing some impressive blues!
