TO ORDER OR FOR MORE INFO CALL 1-866-422-9022 Facts: Blue catfish are not stocked as frequently as channel catfish because they can grow large enough to eat other adult game fish. Blue catfish are an excellent food fish and will put up a good fight on a rod and reel. Spawning Characteristics: Blue catfish spawn in late spring once the water temperature reaches 75 °F. They only spawn in enclosed areas such as undercut banks, under logs and in old buckets.        a.forster designs              Copyright 2006
