Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish, Bulls Gap, Tennessee, presents some solid options, especially within the Nolichucky River. The ‘Chuck’ offers a diverse habitat that supports a healthy catfish population. Summer nights are ideal, with catfish actively foraging. Stink baits, chicken liver, and cut bait are your go-to options. A practical tip for the Nolichucky: focus on deeper holes and areas with submerged structure, especially near bends in the river. Be prepared for some rocky wading if you're fishing from the bank. Local anglers often report that the catfish in this area are particularly fond of shad-based baits. Remember to check the local fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits.
