Channel Catfish
The Green River near Brownsville, Kentucky, is a great place to target channel catfish. This stretch of the river offers plenty of classic catfish habitat – deep holes, submerged logs, and undercut banks. Summer is arguably the best time to fish for catfish here, especially during the evening and nighttime hours when they are most active. Use a variety of baits, including stink baits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers, to see what the fish are biting on. A good strategy is to anchor near a deep hole or channel and cast your bait towards the bank or into the current. Bank fishing access is available at several points along the Green River, but a boat will allow you to reach less pressured areas and explore more of the river. Be prepared for some hefty cats; the Green River is known for producing some impressive specimens.
