Channel Catfish
For channel catfish enthusiasts, Mesic, North Carolina, presents a unique freshwater fishing experience. The creeks and rivers feeding the Pamlico River are home to a healthy population of channel cats. The best time to target these whiskered fish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They are most active at night, so consider fishing after dark for the best results. Local anglers often have success using cut bait, chicken livers, or commercial stink baits. A practical tip for fishing in this area is to focus on areas with current, such as the mouths of creeks or bends in the rivers. The channel catfish in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different baits to see what they are biting on. Public access is available at several boat ramps along the Pamlico River, providing easy access to prime catfish waters. Also, be mindful of the tides, as they can influence catfish activity and location.
