Channel Catfish
Looking for channel catfish near Askewville, NC? The smaller rivers and creeks feeding into the Albemarle Sound offer surprisingly good channel cat action. The Cashie River, in particular, is a reliable spot. While they may not reach the massive sizes of blue cats, channel cats in this area are plentiful and provide consistent action. Spring and summer are ideal times, especially after a good rain. Night fishing can also be very productive during the warmer months. Simple rigs with worms, stink baits, or cut bait work well. Several smaller boat ramps and access points are scattered along the Cashie River. The Windsor Town Docks offer public access. Bank fishing is possible in some areas, but be respectful of private property. Local tip: try fishing around downed trees and other woody debris, as channel cats often congregate in these areas. Don’t overlook smaller feeder creeks; they can hold surprising numbers of catfish, especially after rainfall.
