Channel Catfish
Looking for some whiskered action? Florala, Alabama, provides ample opportunities to tangle with Channel Catfish. Lake Jackson is once again a key location, but the smaller creeks and rivers feeding into the lake also hold good numbers of catfish. The summer months, especially after a good rain, are prime time for targeting these bottom dwellers. Fish near the bottom with stink baits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers for the best results. A local tip is to try fishing the deeper holes near the dam on Lake Jackson. These areas often concentrate catfish. Pay attention to local regulations regarding size and creel limits. Channel Catfish in this area average between 2-5 pounds, but larger fish are frequently caught. Be prepared for a good fight, especially when using lighter tackle. Remember to bring your patience and a good net!
