Channel Catfish
For channel catfish enthusiasts visiting Vernonburg, the Savannah River and its tributaries offer consistent action. These whiskered predators are prevalent throughout the system, providing year-round fishing opportunities. However, the warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive, especially after periods of rainfall that increase water flow. Focus your efforts on deeper holes, near submerged timber, and along the outside bends of the river. Traditional catfish baits like cut bait, chicken livers, and stink baits work wonders. A local angler's secret is to use fresh shad when available. Access to the river is available at several public boat ramps and fishing piers, but be mindful of strong currents, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall. The channel catfish in this region are known for their willingness to bite, making it a great spot for both seasoned anglers and beginners.
