Channel Catfish
If you're after some whiskered action, Centrahoma, Oklahoma, has plenty of channel catfish to offer. The Muddy Boggy River and the larger ponds in the area hold good populations of these bottom-dwelling fish. Summer is prime time for catfish, especially at night. Use stinkbaits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. A simple Carolina rig is a reliable setup. Many anglers fish from the bank, but a boat can give you access to more secluded spots. A local tip is to pre-bait your fishing spot a day or two in advance to attract catfish to the area. Be aware of local regulations regarding size and creel limits. The catfish here range in size, with a good chance of catching fish in the 2-5 pound range, and the occasional larger fish. Be prepared for a strong pull, as these fish can put up a good fight.
