White Catfish
Targeting white catfish around Baton Rouge offers a relaxing and rewarding fishing experience, especially in the diverse waterways surrounding the city. The Atchafalaya Basin, with its intricate network of bayous and backwaters, is prime habitat. These cats thrive in the muddy bottoms and slow currents. Spring and early summer are particularly productive as the fish become more active with the warming water temperatures and move into shallower areas to spawn. Try fishing near submerged logs, brush piles, or along the edges of the channels with live or cut bait such as worms, shrimp, or small pieces of oily fish. A simple Carolina rig or a slip-sinker rig is effective. Access to the Atchafalaya Basin is readily available through numerous public boat launches and parks along the river. Be mindful of water levels, as they can fluctuate rapidly depending on rainfall and river flow. Local white catfish tend to be good-sized, often exceeding a few pounds, providing a tasty meal.
