Blue Catfish
If you're after trophy-sized blue catfish in North Carolina, Mocksville offers some excellent opportunities. The Yadkin River, particularly the section impounded by High Rock Lake, is a prime location. This area is known for its healthy blue catfish population, with many fish exceeding 50 pounds. Spring and fall are the best times to target these giants as they become more active during these periods with the changing water temperatures. Look for blues around deep channels, humps, and submerged timber. A practical tip for fishing High Rock Lake is to pay close attention to the thermocline, especially during the summer months. Blues will often congregate just above it. Popular access points include the Southmont Access Area and the Abbotts Creek Access Area. Keep an eye on water levels, as they can fluctuate significantly, impacting boat access and fishing conditions. Using fresh cut bait, especially shad or herring, is crucial for enticing the larger blues in this area. Be prepared for a fight – these fish are incredibly strong!
