Seasonal Activity Chart
Channel Catfish
Selma, North Carolina, offers some surprisingly good channel catfish action, primarily in the Neuse River. What makes the Neuse special here is its mix of slow-moving, muddy sections and faster, rockier runs, creating diverse habitats for catfish of all sizes. The best time to target them is from late spring through early fall. As the water warms, catfish become more active and readily take a variety of baits. For bank fishermen, try accessing the river near the US 301 bridge; there's some public land available. If you have a boat, the Neuse offers excellent opportunities to explore different areas. A pro tip: focus on areas with submerged timber or sharp bends in the river, as these spots often hold catfish. Also, be aware of the river's flow, especially after heavy rains, as it can become swift and challenging to navigate. Using heavier weights will help keep your bait in the strike zone.
