Blue Catfish
Aberdeen, NC, offers some surprisingly good opportunities for targeting Blue Catfish in its freshwater lakes and rivers. While not as well-known as some other species, the area holds a population of blues that can reach impressive sizes. Target larger reservoirs and river systems in the region for your best chances. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are typically the most productive for blue catfish. They are opportunistic feeders and can be caught using a variety of baits, including cut bait, live bait, and prepared catfish baits. Focus on areas with deeper water, structure, and current. A local tip: many anglers have success fishing near submerged timber or channel edges. The catfish in this region are known for their strong fighting ability, so be prepared for a battle. Remember to check local fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
