Blue Catfish
While less abundant than their Channel Catfish cousins, Blue Catfish can be found in the deeper sections of the Broad River near Spindale, NC. Targeting these larger catfish requires a bit more specialized approach. Look for them in the deeper pools and along the outside bends of the river, especially where there's significant current. The best time to target Blues is typically during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they tend to be more active. Use larger cut bait, such as gizzard shad or skipjack herring, fished on heavy tackle. A vital tip for success is to be patient. Blue Catfish are ambush predators and may require some time to find. Access to the river is similar to that for Channel Catfish, with multiple public access points available. Blue Catfish populations are still developing in this area, so any fish caught should be treated with respect. Smaller blues are fairly common, but larger specimens are a prized catch.
