Blue Catfish
The Congaree River near Cayce, South Carolina, is a fantastic spot to chase blue catfish. The river's deep channels and abundant forage provide an excellent environment for these whiskered giants. Prime time for blue catfish here is typically late winter through spring, and again in the fall, as they move in response to water temperature changes. Cut bait, such as shad or herring, is the go-to bait for most anglers. Drifting along the river channel or anchoring near deep holes and submerged structure are effective techniques. Be aware of the river's current, especially after heavy rains, as it can become swift and make fishing more challenging. The public boat ramp at the end of Old State Road provides good access to the river. Blue catfish in the Congaree can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 60 pounds, making it a worthwhile destination for serious catfishermen.
