Channel Catfish
Looking for some whiskered action near Tyrone, Georgia? Channel catfish are a reliable target in Lake McIntosh and the surrounding creeks. While they can be caught year-round, the warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive. Fish around submerged timber, rocky bottoms, and deeper holes. Traditional catfish baits like chicken liver, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits work well. For bank fishing, try the areas around the dam or along the shoreline of the lake. A local tip: Catfish tend to be more active at night, so consider fishing after dark for better results. The channel catfish in this area typically range from a few pounds to upwards of ten pounds, offering a good fight. Be sure to check Georgia's fishing regulations for size and creel limits before you go.
