Channel Catfish
If you're looking for channel catfish around Hertford, NC, the tidal rivers and creeks feeding into the Albemarle Sound are your best bet. The Chowan River and Perquimans River are particularly productive. These waterways offer a mix of deep channels, shallow flats, and plenty of structure that catfish love. Fishing is good year-round, but the warmer months tend to be the most productive. Use a variety of baits, including cut bait, chicken livers, or commercial catfish attractants. A local tactic is to fish near bridge pilings or submerged timber, as these areas often hold concentrations of catfish. Be mindful of the tides, as catfish activity often increases during periods of moving water. Several public boat ramps provide access to these rivers, but always check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and bait restrictions. The channel catfish in this area are known for their size and willingness to bite, making for a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
