Alabama river catfishing

I'm trying to plan a weekend trip in the next few weeks. Planning on going after some big blues south of Selma and North of Millers Ferry. I've fished around pine barren Creek and couple times and caught a few but no monsters. I'm really just looking for a few pointers. I would also like to catch a few skip Jacks for bait if they can be caught this time of year. Thanks for any help.

Use your electronics to find the large bait schools. The blues will be underneath or on the edges of them. Underwater humps are another spot to target.

Bogue Chitto area?

Heard the mouth of Cedar Creek was good, but have never done it so....
