Fishing Techniques

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

• For Freshwater drum

  Freshwater drum often feed near the bottom, so present your bait or lure accordingly, and be patient as they are not known for aggressive strikes.

• For Blue catfish

  Target areas with current breaks and structure, like submerged timber or ledges, as blue catfish often ambush prey in these locations. Use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as blue catfish are likely to be nearby.
