Blue Catfish
Blue catfish are a growing target in the Cape Fear River system near Angier, NC, and they're known for their impressive size. While not as abundant as channel cats, the potential for landing a true monster is what draws many anglers. The deeper sections of the river, especially those with strong currents and plenty of structure, are prime blue cat habitat. Look for areas where the river narrows or bends. Winter and early spring can be productive, as the blues often congregate in deeper holes to escape the cold. Cut bait, particularly oily fish like shad or mullet, works well. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are incredibly powerful. Access to the Cape Fear can be found near Erwin, offering boat ramps and some bank fishing opportunities. Check local fishing reports for up-to-date information on blue cat activity, as their patterns can vary depending on water conditions and bait availability.
