Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish near Cave Spring, Georgia, you'll find ample opportunities in the Coosa River and its tributaries. The smaller creeks around Cave Spring can hold catfish, but the Coosa offers the best chance for larger fish. Summer nights are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active in the cooler temperatures. Focus on areas with current, such as bends in the river or near bridge pilings. Popular baits include stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait. A practical tip is to access the Coosa River via the public boat ramp in Rome, GA, and then fish upstream. Be mindful of the river's flow, which can increase rapidly after heavy rainfall. The channel catfish in this region are known for being relatively abundant, providing consistent action for anglers. Don't be afraid to experiment with different baits and locations to find what works best on any given day.
