Channel Catfish
For Channel Catfish enthusiasts, the freshwater areas surrounding Meggett, SC, offer a great opportunity to hook into some whiskered giants. The Stono River, with its muddy bottom and abundant structure, is a prime location. The numerous creeks and backwaters that feed into the Stono also hold good numbers of catfish. These fish thrive in the warm, brackish waters found here. Summer is the peak season for channel catfish, as they become more active in the warmer water. Fishing at night is particularly effective, as these nocturnal feeders are most active after dark. A local tip is to use cut bait or stink bait fished on the bottom near submerged logs or creek mouths. Several public boat ramps provide access to the Stono River. Be mindful of the tides when navigating the smaller creeks, as water levels can fluctuate significantly.
