Catfish can be found from roadside ditches and creeks to ponds and big lakes. They are even caught in brackish waters, where they may act more like a bass than a cat! No matter where you catch them, they pull good and will hit a variety of baits. And you don't need a fancy boat or expensive equipment to catch them!
June in Georgia was always a favorite time for me to go catch a mess of cats. I ran jugs, limb lines and trotlines every night I could get to the lake, which was a lot as soon as school was out. The biggest I ever landed was a 12 pound blue that hit a jug at Clark's Hill.
There are a variety of catfish and bullheads you can catch. They come in a wide range of sizes and bait preferences. Some get huge, others are just right for frying. Spend some time this summer enjoying the experience of catching and eating catfish!
