Channel Catfish
Believe it or not, you can actually target channel catfish near Beverly Hills, though you'll have to venture slightly outside the city limits to find suitable waters. The best bet is exploring the lakes and reservoirs in the surrounding Los Angeles County area. These often overlooked urban fisheries can hold some surprisingly large channel cats. Summer nights are undoubtedly the best time to target them, as they become more active in the warmer water. A simple slip-sinker rig with stink bait, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers is a classic and effective approach. Focus on areas with deeper water near submerged structure or drop-offs. A local tip: check the regulations for specific lakes, as some may have restrictions on bait types or fishing hours. Also, be mindful of the water quality in these urban lakes, and always practice catch and release to help maintain a healthy fishery. Patience is key; catfish often require soaking your bait for a while before they strike.
