Channel Catfish
If you're heading to Nahunta, Georgia, and have channel catfish on your mind, you're in for a treat. The Satilla River, which winds its way through the area, is a prime location. These catfish thrive in the river's murky waters and can be found in good numbers around fallen trees and submerged structure. Spring and early summer are particularly productive as the catfish become more active with the warming water temperatures. Local anglers often find success using stink baits, cut bait, or even nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. A good access point is the Highway 301 bridge crossing, where you can fish from the bank or launch a small boat. Be aware of the strong currents, especially after heavy rainfall, and always check local water levels before heading out. The Satilla River channel catfish are known for their good size, so be sure to bring tackle that can handle a sizable fish.
