Channel Catfish
If you're looking for some excellent channel catfish action, the waters around Peak, South Carolina, offer some great opportunities. The Broad River, which flows nearby, is a prime spot, along with Lake Murray's upper reaches. These waters hold a healthy population of catfish, known for their decent size and willingness to bite. Spring and early summer are particularly productive, as the catfish become more active with the warming water temperatures and move into shallower areas to spawn. Look for them around structure like submerged trees, rocky outcroppings, and channel edges. A local tip: many anglers find success using cut bait or live bait like nightcrawlers and shad. For bank access, check out the public access points along the Broad River near Peak. Be prepared for some current in the river, and always check water levels before heading out.
