Channel Catfish
Chesterfield County, South Carolina, is a great place to target channel catfish, and the Lynches River is the heart of the action. This river system provides ample habitat for catfish to thrive. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are prime time. Catfish actively feed as water temperatures rise. For bank fishing, look for deeper holes and areas with submerged structure along the Lynches River. Night fishing can be particularly rewarding. A local tactic that works well is using cut bait, like bream or shad, fished on a Carolina rig near the bottom. Be prepared for some hefty fish; the Lynches River is known to produce some impressive channel cats. Also, be mindful of the river's current, especially after rainfall, and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait in the strike zone.
