Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some exciting channel catfish action, Garysburg, NC, offers some excellent freshwater opportunities. The Roanoke River near Garysburg is a prime spot, known for its healthy catfish population. Look for deeper holes and areas with submerged structure, as these are catfish magnets. The best time to target channel cats here is late spring through early fall when the water temperatures are warmer. Night fishing can be particularly productive. For bank access, try the areas around the US-158 bridge; just be mindful of private property. A pro tip: the catfish in this section of the Roanoke seem to have a preference for cut bait, particularly gizzard shad if you can find it fresh. Don't be afraid to experiment with different scents and presentations to find what they're biting on that day. Be sure to check the Roanoke River water levels before heading out, as conditions can change quickly.
