Channel Catfish
Looking for channel catfish near Pembroke, North Carolina? The Lumber River offers a solid opportunity to hook into some whiskered giants. The river's slow-moving current and abundant cover create ideal habitat for catfish. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Fish near submerged logs, deep holes, and areas with current breaks. Traditional catfish baits like cut bait, chicken livers, and nightcrawlers are all effective. The Lumber River State Park provides multiple access points, but be prepared for some walking to reach the prime fishing spots. A local tip: focus on fishing after dark, as catfish are most active at night. Be sure to bring a sturdy rod and reel, as the catfish in the Lumber River can reach impressive sizes. Pay attention to local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
