Channel Catfish

freshwater

The Mississippi River and its surrounding waterways near Luxora offer excellent channel catfish opportunities. These whiskered predators are abundant and readily caught using a variety of methods. Look for them in areas with current, such as channel edges, drop-offs, and near submerged structure. Stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective choices. Summer and fall are particularly good times to target channel catfish, as they are actively feeding. A medium-heavy rod and reel are recommended, as these fish can be surprisingly strong. A local strategy is to fish near the mouths of creeks or drainage ditches that flow into the river, as these areas often attract catfish. Remember to check the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission regulations for size and creel limits before you go.
