Blue Catfish
If you're after a trophy blue catfish, the waters around McEwen, Tennessee, have the potential to deliver. The Tennessee River system, accessible within a reasonable drive, is known for its large blue cats. The deeper holes and channels of the river are prime locations. Winter and early spring can be particularly productive, as the larger fish are often more active in cooler water. Using cut bait, such as skipjack herring or shad, is a proven method. A local tip: Focus on areas with current, as blue cats often congregate where food is concentrated. Also, be prepared for a long fight, as these fish can reach impressive sizes. Several boat ramps provide access to the river, but be sure to check water levels and weather conditions before heading out. Targeting these giants requires patience and heavy tackle, but the reward can be a fish of a lifetime.
