Channel Catfish
For some fantastic Channel Catfish action near Cedar Point, North Carolina, explore the rivers and creeks that feed into the Pamlico Sound. The Trent River, New River, and smaller tributaries offer plenty of habitat for these whiskered predators. Summer nights are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active in the warmer water. Focus on areas with structure like submerged logs, rocky bottoms, and deep holes. A simple bottom rig with stink bait, cut bait, or nightcrawlers is often all you need. A pro tip: Many locals swear by using chicken livers soaked in garlic as bait. Also, be mindful of the tides, as they can significantly impact the catfish's feeding patterns. Incoming tides often bring in fresh baitfish, triggering a feeding frenzy.
