Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a popular target for anglers in Bradley, Arkansas, and for good reason. The area's numerous creeks, rivers, and ponds offer plenty of habitat for these whiskered predators. The Ouachita River, which flows nearby, is a reliable spot for catfish. Warmer months, particularly late spring through summer, are prime time for catfish angling. Fish near the bottom with stinkbaits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers. A local tactic is to target areas with slow-moving water or near submerged logs and debris. Many anglers have success fishing at night, when catfish are most active. Be aware of the river's current, especially after rainfall. The catfish population in this region is generally healthy, and you can expect to catch a mix of sizes, from smaller eating-sized fish to larger specimens. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
