Channel Catfish
Humnoke, Arkansas, provides ample opportunity to tangle with channel catfish. The Arkansas River and its backwaters are teeming with them. Look for areas with current breaks, submerged structure, and deep holes. Spring and summer are the most productive times, with the warmer water activating the catfish. Stink baits, cut bait (shad or skipjack if you can get it), and nightcrawlers are all reliable choices. A good tactic is to fish near the mouths of creeks that flow into the river, as catfish often congregate there. There are several public access points along the Arkansas River near Humnoke, though some require a short drive on gravel roads. Be prepared for some hefty fish; the Arkansas River system is known for producing some impressive channel cats. Check local fishing reports for recent catfish activity before you go. Remember to bring plenty of bait!
