Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish around Grantsboro, NC, means focusing on the expansive Neuse River and its tributaries. This area is known for its healthy population of blues, often reaching impressive sizes. The best time to fish for them is during the spring and fall, when the water temperatures are moderate and the catfish are actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. Look for blues in deeper holes and channels, especially near structure like submerged timber or bridge pilings. A local tip is to use fresh cut bait – gizzard shad or mullet work well – and fish near the bottom with a Carolina rig. Many anglers launch from the public ramp at the end of Water Street for easy access to productive stretches of the Neuse. Be aware of strong currents, particularly after heavy rainfall.
