Blue Catfish
If you're after a whiskered giant, Tutwiler, Mississippi, offers some fantastic Blue Catfish opportunities. The Tallahatchie River, winding its way through the Delta, is the key. These blues thrive in the deep holes and channels of the river. While they can be caught year-round, the warmer months, especially late spring and summer, are usually the most productive. The catfish will be actively feeding to fatten up. Cut bait, live shad, and prepared catfish baits are all effective. Be prepared for some heavy lifting, as these fish can reach impressive sizes. A sturdy rod and reel, along with heavy line, are essential. A local access point is the public ramp near the Highway 49 bridge, but be aware that the river can be muddy and current strong, so exercise caution. The Tallahatchie Blues are known for their size and fighting ability, making Tutwiler a worthwhile destination for any catfish angler.
