Channel Catfish
Channel Catfish are a popular target for anglers around Danielsville, Georgia, and for good reason – they're plentiful and put up a good fight. Several rivers and lakes in the area hold healthy populations of channel cats, offering both bank and boat fishing opportunities. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time. Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as catfish are most active during these times. The Broad River offers good access for bank fishing, while Lake Hartwell provides ample opportunities for boat fishing. Chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and stink baits are all effective baits. Local tip: Use a Carolina rig to keep your bait on the bottom, where catfish spend most of their time. Also, be prepared for a strong pull – channel cats can grow to impressive sizes in these waters. Be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
