FIGHTIN DA BLUES GUIDE SERVICE reports July is one of the best months for Lake Monticello. The weather is hot and the catfishing is also hot. The blues are coming off their spawn and are really feeding. Heavy 200 to 300 lb catches are a common day during July either drifting or anchoring. On Lake Greenwood the channel cats will be finished spawning. They can be caught down the lake in the deeper cooler water and also in upper part of the lake. Drifting the long creek beds in the lower part of the lake with cutbait is a good way to put fish in the boat. I guide on Lake Greenwood, Monticello and Murray.
