Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish in the Argo, Alabama area thrive in the Coosa River and Logan Martin Lake. The Coosa, in particular, provides excellent habitat with its deep holes, rocky bottoms, and plenty of woody cover. Summer nights are ideal for targeting these whiskered giants, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Use live bait like shad or nightcrawlers, or try stinkbaits for a more pungent approach. For bank fishing, look for access points along the Coosa River near bridges and causeways. A boat gives you more flexibility to explore the lake's deeper channels and submerged timber. Local tip: Be prepared for some heavy lifting! The channel catfish in this area can grow to impressive sizes, so make sure your gear is up to the task. Check local regulations for size and creel limits before heading out. The Coosa's catfish population is robust, offering consistent action for anglers.
