Channel Catfish
Luverne, Alabama, offers some excellent channel catfish opportunities in its numerous small rivers and creeks. The Patsaliga River and its tributaries are particularly known for their healthy channel cat populations. These fish are readily accessible to bank anglers and boaters alike. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk when the catfish are most active. Chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and commercial catfish baits are all effective choices. A simple Carolina rig is a great way to present your bait. A local tip: look for areas where the water is moving, such as near bridge pilings or creek mouths, as these areas tend to concentrate catfish. There are several public access points along the Patsaliga River, offering easy entry. The channel cats in this area are generally in the 1-5 pound range, but larger ones are certainly possible.
