Channel Catfish
If you're targeting channel catfish in Weir, Mississippi, you're in for a treat. This region boasts numerous small lakes and creeks perfect for pursuing whiskerfish. The Skuna River, while smaller, holds some surprisingly large channel cats. Spring and early summer, particularly after a good rain that muddies the waters and raises the water level slightly, are prime times. Bait your hooks with stinkbait, cut bait (shad or skipjack if you can get it), or even nightcrawlers. A local tip: focus on areas with submerged timber or rocky outcroppings, as these provide excellent ambush points for catfish. Another useful tip: the Highway 15 bridge crossing the Skuna River provides bank access, although it can get crowded on weekends. Be patient, and you might just land a trophy channel cat!
