Channel Catfish
If you're after some whiskered action, Woodville, Alabama, and the Paint Rock River system offer solid Channel Catfish opportunities. These fish are abundant and relatively easy to catch, making them a great target for anglers of all skill levels. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive. Look for channel cats in deeper holes, along the river channel, and near structure such as submerged logs and rock piles. Simple rigs like a Carolina rig or a three-way rig baited with worms, stinkbait, or cut bait work well. Fishing near the Highway 72 bridge or launching a boat at the public ramp allows you to access different sections of the river. Night fishing can also be very effective, especially during the summer months. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before heading out. Be prepared for some feisty fights, as these catfish can put up a good battle.
