Channel Catfish
Channel catfish fishing near Moody, Alabama, can be quite productive, especially in the Coosa River and its associated lakes. Logan Martin Lake is a reliable spot, offering plenty of submerged structure and deep channels where catfish congregate. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are typically the best for targeting channel cats. Look for them around submerged timber, creek channels, and rocky points. Night fishing can be particularly effective. A simple but effective rig consists of a slip sinker, a circle hook, and your favorite catfish bait – chicken livers, nightcrawlers, or prepared stink baits are all popular choices. A helpful tip: many anglers have success fishing near the Interstate 20 bridge where it crosses Logan Martin Lake, due to the deep water and structure in that area. Also, be mindful of boat traffic, especially on weekends. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for catfish.
