Blue Catfish
If you're targeting blue catfish near White Stone, Virginia, the Rappahannock River is your primary destination. This tidal river system is known for holding some impressive blue cats. The best time to fish for them is generally from late spring through early fall. Blues become more active in warmer water and will be feeding more aggressively. Look for deeper holes and channels, especially near structure like submerged trees or bridge pilings. A practical tip: use cut bait like menhaden or gizzard shad, as these are readily available in the area and irresistible to hungry blues. Be prepared for a fight; Rappahannock River blues can reach substantial sizes. Many local anglers launch from public ramps in nearby towns and navigate the river to find their favorite fishing spots. Remember to check regulations regarding size and possession limits before you go.
