Channel Catfish

Channel catfish anglers will find some promising opportunities around Broxton, Georgia, particularly in the Satilla River and its connecting creeks and ponds. The Satilla, with its slow-moving currents and abundant cover, provides ideal habitat for catfish. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive for catfish. Try fishing at night, as this is when they are most active. Popular baits include cut bait, chicken liver, and stink baits. For bank access, look for bridge crossings and public access points along the Satilla River. Be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels, which can impact fishing conditions. A local tip: Target areas with submerged logs or other structure, as catfish often congregate around these areas. The channel catfish in this area can range in size from a few pounds to upwards of 10 pounds, offering a good chance at landing a decent-sized fish.
