Channel Catfish
If you're after some whiskerfish near Long View, North Carolina, Lake Hickory is a great place to start your channel catfish hunt. This lake offers plenty of structure and forage to support a healthy catfish population. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are ideal for targeting catfish, especially during the evening and nighttime hours. Try fishing near the river channel, around submerged timber, or along rocky bluffs. Traditional catfish baits like cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stinkbaits are effective. A local tip: many anglers find success anchoring near the mouths of creeks and casting their baits into the deeper water. The channel catfish in Lake Hickory can reach impressive sizes, so be sure to use sturdy tackle. Also, check the local regulations regarding size and creel limits before you head out.
