Blue Catfish
While not as prevalent as their channel cat cousins, blue catfish are present in the Missouri River system near Alamo, North Dakota. Targeting them specifically requires a bit more dedication and knowledge of the local waterways. Your best bet is Lake Sakakawea, but it is important to understand that blue catfish are less abundant than channel catfish. They prefer deeper water and are often found near the main river channel. The peak season aligns with the warmer months, particularly summer and early fall, when water temperatures are highest. Focus your efforts on areas with strong current or significant depth changes. A good starting point is near the Garrison Dam tailrace, but be aware of the strong currents and regulations. Use heavy tackle and large cut bait, such as whole herring or large chunks of sucker, to entice these larger predators. Keep in mind that blue catfish in this region can grow to impressive sizes, with some exceeding 50 pounds, so be prepared for a serious fight.
