Channel Catfish
Greenwood, Mississippi, offers some fantastic channel catfish angling, particularly if you focus on the Yazoo River and its backwaters. The catfish here thrive in the muddy bottom and abundant structure. Spring and early summer are prime times, especially after a good rain when the river rises and the cats move into the flooded areas to feed and spawn. Try fishing near fallen trees, submerged logs, and along the deeper bends of the river. For bank access, several county roads run alongside the Yazoo, providing decent spots to cast from. A local tip: use stink bait or cut bait on a Carolina rig. The cats here aren't particularly picky, but they do respond well to strong scents. Be aware of fluctuating water levels, as the Yazoo can rise quickly after heavy rainfall.
