Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some solid channel catfish action, Bogalusa, Louisiana, and the surrounding waterways offer a good chance to hook into some whiskered giants. The Pearl River is the primary catfish destination here, offering plenty of deep holes, submerged structure, and cut banks that catfish love. Spring and summer are peak seasons, with the warmer water temperatures triggering increased feeding activity. Stinkbaits, cut bait (shad or mullet), and nightcrawlers are all reliable choices. A local tip: focus on areas where the river current slows down, such as behind log jams or near the mouths of creeks. Bank fishing access is available at several points along the river, but a boat will allow you to reach more productive spots. The Pearl River catfish are known for their good size, with many fish exceeding 10 pounds. Be sure to bring along heavy tackle and a strong net to handle these powerful fish.
