Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a popular target for anglers around Blackshear, Georgia, and for good reason. The Satilla River and the many smaller creeks and ponds in the area are teeming with them. Spring and summer are the most productive seasons. Look for channel cats near submerged logs, undercut banks, and deeper holes. Stink baits, worms, and cut bait are all effective options. A key to success is finding areas with current, as this concentrates the catfish. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are privately owned, so always seek permission before fishing. For river access, the public boat ramps offer good starting points. Don't be afraid to experiment with different baits and locations to find what works best on any given day. The channel catfish in this region are known for their excellent table fare, making them a rewarding catch.
