Blue Catfish
If you're after blue catfish, Arcadia Lakes, SC, presents a surprising opportunity. While not as well-known as some other catfish hotspots, these lakes hold a healthy population of blues that can reach impressive sizes. Target deeper holes and channels, especially near the lake's dam or where creeks enter. Summer and fall are prime times, when the water is warmer, and catfish are actively feeding. Use cut bait, live bait (like bream or shad), or commercial catfish baits on a Carolina rig or a three-way rig. A local tip: Fish near the bottom and be prepared for a strong fight. Also, chumming with soured grain or cut bait can attract catfish to your fishing area. Be aware of the potential for larger fish, so use heavy tackle. Public boat ramps provide good access, but be mindful of other boat traffic, especially on weekends.
