For anglers seeking Blue Catfish in Oklahoma, Mannford and the Arkansas River/Keystone Lake offer a great opportunity. Keystone Lake is known for holding some truly massive blue catfish. Look for blues in deep holes, river channels, and near submerged structure. Cut bait, particularly shad or skipjack herring, is the bait of choice. Summer nights are prime time for targeting these nocturnal predators. A local tip: use a fish finder to locate submerged ledges and drop-offs – these areas often hold concentrations of blue catfish. Be prepared for a strong fight; these fish can reach impressive sizes! Furthermore, be mindful of the regulations regarding size and creel limits for blue catfish in Keystone Lake to ensure responsible fishing practices.
