March 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #127: Locating Lunker Catfish


1

Tip of the Week

Large blue and flathead catfish are deep-water denizens of the lakes and rivers they live in. Look for them in the deep holes, rocky drop-offs and tangles of fallen trees and current-swept logs and debris. Larger channel cats are more apt to blend in with the smaller fish and can be taken on shallow flats during the night and offshore in bottom contour changes, old creek beds and on woody or vegetation breaks during the day.

Reservoirs can mean great catfishing but the thermocline limits how deep the fish can be. When the cold, deeper water is depleted of oxygen the catfish will be right above it in the warmer, well-oxygenated water. They will be along the bank in rocky or woody cover. River conditions provide lots of oxygen all the way to the bottom where lunker catfish like to hide.

Search hard for big catfish on deeper shorelines when the weather is hot and a thermocline has probably formed. On rivers, fish the deep holes.
