Channel Catfish
If you're looking to tangle with some whiskered giants, Mauldin, SC offers some surprisingly good channel catfish opportunities. While not necessarily known as a catfish destination, the Reedy River and its tributaries, along with local ponds and smaller lakes, hold respectable populations. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times to target them, as they actively forage to replenish their energy. Baits like chicken livers, nightcrawlers, and commercially prepared stink baits are your best bet. A local tip: access to the Reedy River can be found at various bridge crossings and public parks. Be mindful of water levels, as heavy rains can make the river unfishable. The catfish in this area tend to average a few pounds, but larger specimens are certainly possible, especially in the deeper holes. Don't overlook smaller bodies of water; sometimes, the overlooked ponds hold the biggest surprises.
