Channel Catfish
If you're targeting channel catfish in the Hokes Bluff area, you're in for a treat. The Coosa River, which runs nearby, is renowned for its healthy channel catfish population. Spring and early summer are prime times, especially after a good rain when the river is up a bit and the catfish are actively feeding. Look for them in deeper holes, around submerged timber, and near the mouths of creeks entering the river. A simple Carolina rig with cut bait or nightcrawlers works wonders. For bank access, check out the areas around the Highway 278 bridge; there's decent parking and relatively easy access to the riverbank. Be mindful of the current, as it can be strong at times. The catfish here aren't particularly picky eaters, but fresh, natural bait will always outperform artificials.
