Blue Catfish
If you're after some serious weight, targeting blue catfish in the Dan River near Mayodan, NC, could be just the ticket. The Dan, with its deep holes and abundant forage, provides excellent habitat for these whiskered giants. While blue catfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive. Focus your efforts on deeper sections of the river, especially near structure like submerged logs or rock piles. Cut bait, such as shad or herring, is a popular choice for targeting blue cats. Several boat ramps provide access to the Dan River in the area; check local resources for the nearest one. Be prepared for a fight – blue catfish are known for their power and can reach impressive sizes in the Dan River system. Using heavier tackle is recommended to handle these brutes.
