Channel Catfish
Targeting channel catfish around Conover, North Carolina, offers excellent freshwater opportunities. Lake Norman, a massive reservoir on the Catawba River, is the prime destination. The warm waters and abundant forage create ideal conditions for channel cats to thrive. Spring and early summer are particularly productive as catfish move into shallower waters to spawn. Focus on areas near creek mouths, submerged timber, and rocky points. Night fishing can also be very effective, especially during the hotter months. For bank access, consider the numerous parks and recreation areas along the lake's shoreline. Boat access is available at multiple public ramps, but be aware of potential crowds, especially on weekends. A Carolina rig with cut bait or stink bait is a proven method. The channel catfish here can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
