Channel Catfish
If you're heading to West Mineral, Kansas, with channel catfish on your mind, you're in for a treat. This area offers some excellent opportunities, particularly in the smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the region. While the larger reservoirs get more attention, these smaller, often overlooked spots can hold surprisingly large populations of channel cats. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times, as the catfish are actively feeding to recover. Another great time is late summer into early fall, as they fatten up for winter. A local tip: many of these ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Also, don't underestimate the power of simple baits like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, or prepared catfish dough baits; they consistently produce results here. The channel catfish in this area tend to be scrappy fighters, often exceeding several pounds, so be prepared for a good battle.
