I live in Vero and the Ft. Drum marsh is about 30 min. west from me out on SR 60. They have plenty of catfish out there from your channel cats to armored catfish and some other exotics, but if you catch some of the armored cats and exotics make sure you kill them before you throw them back, they're fun to catch but they don't belong here and they're a devastation to the eco-system.

Your usual hardhead catfish is trash and not fit to be eaten. We cooked some as quickly as for the cats or maybe they wouldnt consume it. some human beings say that the Gafftopsail catfish are fit to be eaten, yet i attempted one chunk and it completely sucked. in case you elect for to consume catfish, keep on with the freshwater ones.
