Channel Catfish
Lake View, South Carolina, offers excellent channel catfish angling in the Little Pee Dee River and surrounding lakes. Spring and early summer are prime times, as catfish become more active with the warming water temperatures and move into shallower areas to spawn. Try fishing near submerged timber, creek mouths, and deeper holes using cut bait, nightcrawlers, or stink baits. A local tip is to check water levels before heading out, as the Little Pee Dee can be prone to flooding after heavy rains. Access is available at several public boat ramps along the river, but be prepared for shallow water in some areas, especially during drier periods. The catfish here average a respectable size, with opportunities for larger specimens exceeding 10 pounds. Night fishing can also be very productive, particularly during the hotter months.
