Blue Catfish
Lake Marion near Cameron, South Carolina, is a blue catfish paradise. This vast reservoir, part of the Santee Cooper system, boasts a thriving blue catfish population, with fish frequently exceeding 50 pounds. Unlike their flathead cousins, blue catfish are often more active during the day, though night fishing can still be productive. Drift fishing with cut bait, such as herring or shad, is a popular and effective technique. Focus on areas with submerged channels, humps, and ledges. A local secret: keep an eye on your electronics for bait balls, as blue catfish often congregate around these areas. The winter months can be surprisingly good for targeting larger blues, as they tend to school up in deeper water. Remember to handle these fish with care, as they are a valuable resource.
