Channel Catfish
If you're heading to Ashburn, Georgia with catfish on your mind, you're in for a treat. This part of South Georgia offers some excellent channel catfishing in its many creeks, rivers, and ponds. The local waterways, like the Little River and various smaller creeks, hold good populations of channel cats. Spring and early summer are prime times, especially after a good rain when the catfish move into shallower water to feed and spawn. For bank access, try scouting along public road crossings over the creeks; just be mindful of private property. A simple Carolina rig with cut bait or nightcrawlers works wonders here. The channel catfish in this area tend to be in the 2-5 pound range, but you'll find bigger ones if you put in the time. Be sure to check the local regulations for size and creel limits before you go.
