Blue Catfish
For anglers targeting Blue Catfish near Maiden, North Carolina, Lake Norman offers excellent opportunities. This large reservoir is known for holding some impressive blues. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Focus on deeper areas of the lake near the old river channel, humps, and drop-offs. Cut bait, such as gizzard shad or white perch, is a proven method for attracting these whiskered giants. A helpful local tip: use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as the catfish are likely to be nearby. Several public boat ramps provide access to Lake Norman, including the Beatty's Ford Access Area. Be prepared for a good fight, as Lake Norman's Blue Catfish are known for their size and strength.
