Channel Catfish
For channel catfish enthusiasts, Crossville, Alabama, offers some solid opportunities in the freshwater of the region. While the area isn't known for monster cats, the Coosa River system provides consistent action, especially in the warmer months. Focus on areas with structure like submerged timber, rocky outcroppings, and creek channels. Night fishing is particularly productive. Stink baits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective choices. Consider fishing the backwaters and sloughs off the main river channel. A local tip: many anglers have success fishing the deeper holes and bends in the river near bridge pilings. Public access is available at several points along the Coosa, but some require a small fee. The channel catfish here tend to be plentiful and average in size, making for a great day of fishing and a tasty meal.
