Channel Catfish
If you're heading to Emelle, Alabama, and looking to tangle with some Channel Catfish, you're in luck. This region, with its proximity to the Tombigbee River watershed, offers some excellent catfish opportunities. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged timber, creek mouths, and deeper holes, especially in the warmer months from late spring through summer. Night fishing can be exceptionally productive. A local tip: Many anglers find success using cut bait or stink baits fished on the bottom. Be mindful of river currents and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait in the strike zone. Public access points along the Tombigbee provide good bank fishing opportunities, and several boat ramps offer access for larger vessels. The Channel Catfish here are known for their willingness to bite, making it a great spot for both experienced and novice anglers.
