Channel Catfish
Woodland, Mississippi, offers excellent channel catfish opportunities in its numerous creeks, rivers, and ponds. The smaller waterways that feed into the Tombigbee River often hold good populations of channel cats, and local farm ponds can be surprisingly productive. Spring and early summer are excellent times to fish, as the catfish are actively spawning and feeding. For a more relaxed approach, try fishing with worms or prepared catfish bait along the bottom. Public access can be limited in some areas, so be sure to check local regulations and obtain permission before fishing on private land. A great tip is to scout out areas with submerged logs or other structure, as channel cats often congregate in these spots for cover and feeding.
