Channel Catfish
For Channel Catfish enthusiasts, Maysville, NC, and its surrounding waterways offer consistent action. The slower-moving rivers and creeks in the area, like the Trent River, are ideal habitats. These fish are opportunistic feeders, thriving in the muddy bottoms and around submerged structure. While catfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months, especially late spring and summer, are generally the most productive. Night fishing is also a popular and effective tactic. A key local tip is to use stink baits or cut bait fished on the bottom near submerged logs or creek channels. Many anglers have success using simple Carolina rigs. Be mindful of the current, as it can be strong in some areas, requiring heavier weights. The Channel Catfish in this region typically range from 2-8 pounds, providing a good fight and excellent table fare.
