Channel Catfish
For some whiskered fun, target channel catfish in the waters around Collinsville, Alabama. Weiss Lake is a great place to start, offering plenty of structure and food for catfish to thrive. The Coosa River, which feeds into Weiss Lake, also holds a good population. Summer and fall are excellent times to target these fish, as they are actively feeding. Focus on areas with current, such as river channels, creek mouths, and areas around submerged timber. Traditional catfish baits like chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits all work well. A local tip: try fishing at night, especially during the hot summer months, when catfish are more active. Many anglers have luck fishing near the causeway with rod holders. Also, chumming the water with soured grain or catfish attractant can help draw fish to your fishing spot. Be sure to check local regulations regarding bait and chumming.
