Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish, Winfall, NC, presents a rewarding fishing experience. The interconnected waterways of the Albemarle Sound drainage offer abundant habitat for catfish to thrive. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive times to target catfish, especially at night. Focus on areas with deeper water, such as river channels and creek mouths. Traditional catfish baits like cut bait, chicken livers, and nightcrawlers work well. A local tactic is to fish near the bottom with a Carolina rig. Many anglers launch from the public ramp on Pembroke Creek to access good catfish areas. Be aware of strong currents, especially after rainfall, and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait on the bottom. The catfish in this area are known to grow to substantial sizes, so be prepared for a good fight.
