Seasonal Activity Chart
Blue Catfish
For some serious blue catfish action near Oak Hill, TN, head to the Cumberland River. The section both above and below Nashville holds good numbers of blues, with some real trophies lurking in the deeper holes and channels. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as the catfish are actively feeding. Summer can also be good, especially at night. Common baits include cut shad, skipjack herring, and chicken livers. Look for areas with current breaks, such as near bridge pilings or along outside bends in the river. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can put up a tremendous fight. There are several public boat ramps along the Cumberland, including one at Shelby Bottoms Greenway. Be mindful of the commercial barge traffic on the river. The Cumberland River blues are known for their size, with fish over 50 pounds not uncommon. Targeting areas where smaller feeder creeks enter the main river can often concentrate the catfish.
