Blue Catfish
If you're after a big blue catfish, the waters near Keller, Virginia, offer some excellent opportunities. The tidal rivers and creeks that flow into the Chesapeake Bay are home to a healthy population of these whiskered giants. The James, York, and Rappahannock Rivers, while a bit of a drive, are renowned for trophy blue catfish. However, the closer Pocomoke River can also produce some impressive fish. Focus on deep holes, channel edges, and areas with strong current. Fresh cut bait, such as menhaden or gizzard shad, is the bait of choice. Heavy tackle is essential, as these fish can easily exceed 50 pounds. The best times to fish are spring and fall, when the catfish are actively feeding. A local tip: night fishing can be particularly productive, especially during the warmer months. Be prepared for a long fight, and always practice catch-and-release with the larger fish to help sustain the population. The blue catfish in this region are known for their size and aggressive nature, providing a memorable fishing experience.
