Channel Catfish
If you're chasing channel cats in southeastern North Carolina, Bolivia offers some excellent freshwater opportunities. The Lockwood Folly River is a prime spot, offering a mix of brackish and freshwater sections perfect for targeting these whiskered predators. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the catfish become more active with the moderate temperatures and increased baitfish activity. Focus on areas with structure like fallen trees, docks, and deep holes near the river bends. A local tip: The Hwy 17 bridge crossing the Lockwood Folly offers bank access on both sides, providing multiple spots to cast from. Be mindful of the tidal flow, as it can be significant. Many anglers find success using cut bait, nightcrawlers, or commercially prepared catfish baits. The channel cats in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment to see what they're biting on that day. Anglers report success fishing at dusk and dawn.
