Blue Catfish
Vicksburg, Mississippi, offers excellent opportunities to tangle with blue catfish, primarily in the mighty Mississippi River. This stretch of the river is renowned for producing massive blues, some exceeding 100 pounds! The best time to fish for them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when the catfish are actively feeding in the deeper holes and channels. Look for areas with significant current breaks, such as wing dams and submerged timber. A practical tip for fishing the Mississippi near Vicksburg is to use a heavy weight to keep your bait on the bottom in the strong current. Also, be prepared for barge traffic and adjust your fishing location accordingly. The blues here are powerful and require stout tackle. Popular access points include the city front and various public boat ramps along the river.
