Channel Catfish

If you're after Channel Catfish near Edge Hill, Georgia, you'll want to explore the local rivers and ponds. While specific names are less prominent, many of the smaller waterways hold good populations of catfish. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are prime time for targeting them. Night fishing is particularly effective, as catfish are nocturnal feeders. Use a variety of baits such as chicken liver, cut bait, or nightcrawlers. A local trick is to add a bit of garlic scent to your bait to attract them. Look for catfish in deeper holes, around submerged timber, and near the mouths of creeks. Be prepared for a strong fight, as these fish can grow to considerable sizes. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits. Access to some fishing spots may require permission from landowners, so always be respectful and ask before fishing on private property.
