Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a readily available and popular target for anglers fishing near Goodman, Mississippi. They can be found in various waterways, from the Big Black River to smaller creeks and ponds. These fish are opportunistic feeders and can be caught using a variety of baits and techniques. Summer is an excellent time to target them, especially during the evening and night hours. Stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait are all effective choices. Access to the river is available at several bridge crossings, although some walking may be required to reach the most productive fishing spots. A helpful local tip is to look for areas with submerged structure or deep holes, as catfish tend to congregate in these locations. The channel catfish population in this region is generally healthy, with fish ranging in size from a pound or two to upwards of ten pounds. They offer a fun and accessible fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels.
