Channel Catfish
Channel catfish offer consistent fishing action around Auxvasse, Missouri. Focus your efforts on the larger rivers and lakes in the area. The Missouri River, while a bit of a drive, is a renowned catfish destination, and smaller rivers like the Auxvasse Creek also hold decent populations. Look for areas with structure, such as fallen trees, deep holes, or rocky bottoms. Summer is prime time for catfishing, especially after dark. Use a variety of baits, including stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as catfish can put up a strong fight. Local tip: Many anglers have success fishing near bridge pilings or other man-made structures. The catfish population in this region is generally healthy, with opportunities to catch fish of various sizes. Be aware of current regulations regarding size and creel limits.
