Blue Catfish
If you're after blue catfish near Mint Hill, North Carolina, the freshwater sections of the Catawba River system, especially Lake Wylie and Mountain Island Lake, are your best bet. These reservoirs hold some impressive blue cats. Focus your efforts during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when blue catfish are most active. Look for blues around deeper channels, submerged timber, and areas with current. Drifting cut bait, such as gizzard shad or white perch, is a popular and effective technique. A practical tip for Lake Wylie: the area around the Buster Boyd Bridge is known for holding catfish. Be prepared for some larger fish, as blue catfish can reach substantial sizes in these waters. Remember to use appropriate tackle and check the NC Wildlife Resources Commission regulations for size and creel limits before your trip.
