Fish n Tales Go has put together something special here – we're talking premium lodging, chef-prepared meals, and dedicated water time targeting some of the biggest blue cats in the Midwest. At $450 per person per day, you get the full treatment: airport pickup from Manhattan Regional, comfortable rooms, and eight guaranteed hours on the water daily. This isn't your typical fishing trip where you're scrambling for gear or wondering where your next meal comes from. Everything's handled, so you can focus on what matters – getting those blues on the line.
This executive package runs with a maximum of three guests, which means you're getting personalized attention and plenty of elbow room on the boat. Your day starts with a solid breakfast – we're talking bagels, eggs, hashbrowns, and French toast to fuel up before hitting the fishing grounds. Transportation to and from the water is included, so no worrying about launching ramps or navigating unfamiliar territory. Once you're out there, you've got eight full hours to work the best blue catfish spots Kansas has to offer. The evening wind-down includes drinks back at the lodge, plus dinner featuring 16 oz grass-fed black Angus ribeye steaks with fresh baked bread. This is fishing with all the comforts of home, and then some. The atmosphere stays relaxed throughout – no pressure, just good fishing and better food in a setting that lets you actually enjoy your time off the clock.
Blue catfish fishing in Kansas waters calls for some specific approaches, and this package sets you up with everything you need to be successful. We're typically working with heavy tackle – think medium-heavy to heavy rods paired with reels that can handle 20-30 pound test line. Blue cats are bottom feeders, so you'll be using slip sinker rigs or three-way swivel setups to get your bait down where these fish live. Fresh cut bait works best – shad, skipjack, or even chicken liver depending on what the fish are hitting that day. The key is getting your bait right on the bottom in deeper channels, drop-offs, and structure areas where blues cruise for food. During this trip, you'll learn to read the electronics, understand how current affects your presentation, and pick up techniques for keeping your bait in the strike zone. The guides know these waters inside and out, so they'll put you on productive structure and help you dial in the right approach for current conditions.
Blue catfish are the main event here, and for good reason – these are some of the most challenging and rewarding freshwater fish you can target. Blues in Kansas waters commonly run 10-40 pounds, with trophy fish pushing 50+ pounds not uncommon during peak seasons. These fish are active year-round but really turn on during late spring through early fall when water temperatures climb into the 70s and 80s. What makes blue catfish so exciting is their fight – they're not flashy jumpers, but they'll make long, powerful runs that test your drag system and stamina. Blues are also incredibly smart fish that can be finicky about bait presentation, making every hookup feel earned. They're primarily nocturnal feeders but will hit during daylight hours, especially in deeper water or overcast conditions. The best part about targeting blues is their size potential – you never know when that next bite might be a personal best or even a state-record contender. Kansas has produced some monster blues over the years, and the populations continue to thrive in the state's reservoirs and river systems.
