Channel Catfish
For some consistent catfish action, consider targeting channel catfish around Sikes, Louisiana. The numerous creeks and rivers that feed into larger waterways like the Dugdemona River offer ideal habitat. These fish are opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits can be effective, from nightcrawlers and chicken liver to commercial stinkbaits. Fishing near dawn or dusk is often most productive, as channel cats tend to be more active during these low-light periods. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the best time to fish for them. For bank access, try areas along the Dugdemona River near Highway 167. A medium-action rod and reel will handle most channel cats you'll encounter, and circle hooks are a great choice for increasing your hook-up ratio. The channel catfish in this area are known for their good eating size, typically ranging from 2 to 5 pounds.
