Channel Catfish
Channel catfish fishing around Kerman, CA, can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. The California Aqueduct and nearby canals are your best bets for hooking into some whiskered giants. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal, especially after a good rain. The catfish are opportunistic feeders, so stinkbaits, chicken liver, and nightcrawlers are all effective. Fish near structure, such as culverts or submerged debris, as catfish often congregate in these areas. Accessing the aqueduct requires some walking, but it's worth it. Be sure to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and bag limits. Also, be prepared for hot weather, especially during the summer months, and bring plenty of water. Night fishing can be particularly productive for catfish in this area.
