Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish in the Bossier City area, the Red River is your go-to destination. This river system offers ample habitat for catfish to thrive, making it a popular spot for anglers seeking a tasty meal. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive. Catfish are opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits can be effective. Popular choices include cut bait, stink bait, nightcrawlers, and even chicken livers. Focus your efforts near structure, such as submerged logs, fallen trees, and rocky areas. Fishing at night can be particularly productive, as catfish are often more active under the cover of darkness. Numerous public access points and boat ramps are available along the Red River. Be prepared for some current, especially after heavy rains. A sturdy rod and reel are recommended, as channel catfish can grow to impressive sizes in this river system. Local tip: try fishing near the mouths of smaller creeks that feed into the Red River, as these areas often hold concentrations of catfish.
