Channel Catfish
For channel catfish enthusiasts near Newman, California, the San Joaquin River and its network of sloughs and canals offer ample opportunities. These waterways provide a diverse habitat where channel cats thrive. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive, especially during the evening and nighttime hours. Stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait are all effective choices. Focus your efforts around submerged logs, deep holes, and areas with current. A good access point is the various bridges that cross the San Joaquin, allowing you to fish from the bank. However, be mindful of private property and always obtain permission before fishing on private land. Remember to check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits specific to channel catfish in this region.
