Channel Catfish

Looking for some whiskerfish action? Amory, Mississippi, and the Tombigbee River are home to a healthy population of Channel Catfish. The river provides ample habitat, with deep holes, log jams, and undercut banks offering ideal ambush points. Summer nights are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active under the cover of darkness. Stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective choices. A local tip is to fish near the mouths of creeks or tributaries flowing into the Tombigbee, as these areas often concentrate catfish. Another useful hint: The river can experience significant fluctuations in water level, so be sure to check the local forecasts before heading out. The catfish in this region are known for their willingness to bite, making Amory a great destination for both novice and experienced anglers alike.
