Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target in the Oxford, Georgia area, and the Yellow River provides ample opportunity to hook into some whiskered giants. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through summer and into early fall. Catfish become more active as the water warms. Focus on areas with structure like fallen trees, deep holes, and rocky bottoms. Chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and commercially prepared catfish baits are all effective. A popular local tactic is to fish near the Highway 81 bridge over the Yellow River, where the deeper water holds good numbers of catfish. Be aware of the current and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait on the bottom. These Yellow River catfish aren't particularly picky, but fresh bait is always key.
