About Your Trip

If you're looking to hook into some serious catfish action, this seasonal Blue Cat trip with Captain Bob is exactly what you need. Running from December through May—and potentially longer, depending on water conditions—this 4-hour trip is timed to take advantage of prime cold-water catfishing, when the big boys are feeding aggressively.

You’ll launch from one of Oklahoma’s premier Blue Cat fisheries, like Lake Hudson or Fort Gibson Lake, aboard Captain Bob’s 23’ Epic center console powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine. With a wide, stable deck and room for up to 5 anglers, this boat is perfectly suited for working a variety of water types—from river channels and flats to deep lake pockets where trophy cats roam.

Captain Bob draws on years of experience and uses multiple tried-and-true techniques to stay on the fish. Depending on water temperature, clarity, and flow, he may set up for bottom fishing, drift lines, or cut bait rigs with heavy tackle to tempt the monsters lurking below. Water temps around 40°F and above make for ideal conditions, especially in winter when the biggest Blue Cats are actively feeding.

All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are included, and Captain Bob will clean and fillet your catch after the trip. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks, and with a Bluetooth speaker on board, you can even enjoy your favorite playlist while you wait for the next rod to bend.

This trip is beginner-friendly, kid-friendly, and disability accessible, making it a great choice for families, first-timers, and serious anglers alike. With flexible departure locations and no worries about weather-related cancellations, it’s easy to get out there and enjoy a day chasing freshwater giants.

Bundle up, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to fish with one of the best in the business—Captain Bob’s got everything else covered!
