Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target for anglers around Mason, Tennessee, and the Loosahatchie River and its associated oxbow lakes provide excellent habitat. While catfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive. During this time, catfish are actively feeding and can be caught using a variety of methods. Traditional stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective, fished on the bottom with a simple Carolina rig. For a more active approach, try drifting cut bait or using live baitfish. Access to the Loosahatchie can be a bit challenging, with limited boat ramps. However, there are several bank fishing opportunities at bridge crossings and public access points. Be aware of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate significantly after heavy rains. The channel catfish in this area are generally good-sized, with the potential for some real trophies, especially in the deeper holes of the river.
