Channel Catfish
The waterways around Eldorado, Maryland, including the Nanticoke River and its tributaries, are teeming with channel catfish. This area offers a mix of tidal and freshwater environments that these whiskered fish thrive in. The best time to target channel cats is from late spring through fall, with the warmer months being especially productive. Focus your efforts around structure like submerged logs, bridge pilings, and deep holes. Night fishing can be particularly rewarding. A local's trick is to use cut bait, such as menhaden or chicken livers, as they are highly effective in attracting catfish in these waters. The Sharptown boat ramp provides good access to the Nanticoke River. Channel catfish in this area are known for their robust size, and a medium-heavy rod and reel are recommended. Remember to check the local fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
