Channel Catfish
Looking to tangle with some whiskered giants? Greenbrier, Tennessee, offers excellent channel catfish opportunities in its local waterways. The key here is the abundance of smaller creeks and rivers that eventually feed into larger systems. These smaller, often overlooked spots hold surprising numbers of catfish, especially after a good rain. The best time to target them is from late spring through early fall, with summer nights being particularly productive. Focus on areas with current breaks, submerged timber, or deep holes. A simple Carolina rig with stinkbait or cut bait works wonders. For bank access, try exploring the areas around bridges and road crossings on the smaller creeks. Remember to check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits. The catfish in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different baits. A little patience and persistence will pay off with some quality channel cats.
