Seasonal Activity Chart

Channel Catfish
Aberdeen, Maryland, offers excellent channel catfish opportunities in the tidal waters of the Bush River and the Susquehanna Flats. These brackish environments provide a unique habitat that supports a robust catfish population. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time, with catfish actively feeding. Look for them around structure like submerged timber, bridge pilings, and rocky outcroppings. A great access point is the Lapidum Boat Ramp, offering direct access to the Susquehanna. Keep in mind that the Flats can get shallow, so be mindful of tides and your boat's draft. Local tip: Catfish in this area are known to respond well to cut bait, especially menhaden or white perch. Chumming can also be effective in drawing them in.
