Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish near Merriam Woods, Missouri, you're in luck. Table Rock Lake and Bull Shoals Lake offer excellent catfish opportunities. Focus on areas with structure, such as submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels. Night fishing is particularly productive, especially during the warmer months. Use a variety of baits, including nightcrawlers, chicken liver, and commercially prepared catfish baits. Many anglers have success anchoring near the mouths of creeks where they enter the lake. Another good tactic is to drift fish with cut bait. Be aware of the regulations regarding size and creel limits for catfish on these lakes. Access is readily available through numerous boat ramps and shoreline access points around both lakes.
