Catfish Techniques for Heavy Current
Dam spills concentrate catfish as dropping temperatures boost feeding and baitfish get swept through systems, but heavy current creates boat control challenges preventing effective presentations. Success requires reading slack water seams and bottom depressions where catfish ambush prey without fighting flows, then using anchoring techniques and bait adjustments that maintain position and get offerings into strike zones during variable spill rates.

Fall Transition Fishing Techniques for Blue Catfish
The fall transition triggers biological changes in blue catfish as cooling temperatures and reduced light create feeding urgency before winter. Success requires understanding how current edges concentrate fish around rock piles and river bends, using fresh bait sized appropriately for fall forage, and boat staging that positions multiple rigs in productive zones where patient anglers connect with big catfish.

Trophy Flathead Catfish Fishing with Scott Manning
Cold fronts dropping water temperatures trigger metabolic shifts in flathead catfish, creating aggressive feeding windows before winter dormancy. Trophy opportunities concentrate after the first significant temperature drop when big flatheads move from deep summer holding areas into feeding zones, abandoning cautious behavior for the bulk-up period that determines their winter survival prospects.
