Targeting catfish around Grove, Oklahoma? Grand Lake is your playground. This lake is known for its healthy population of channel, blue, and flathead catfish. Spring and early summer are prime times, as catfish become more active with the warming water and spawn. Focus on areas with current, such as the Neosho River arm or around bridges. Cut bait, stink bait, and live bait like sunfish are all effective. For larger blues, try drifting with cut shad. A local's secret: many anglers have success fishing the deeper holes in the main lake channel during the day. Be prepared for some patience, as catfish often require waiting. Also, be sure to check the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation website for any specific regulations or creel limits.
