Channel Catfish
Hallwood, Virginia, offers some excellent channel catfish opportunities in the freshwater reaches of the Delmarva Peninsula. The creeks and rivers feeding into the Chesapeake Bay, while smaller than the major catfish rivers further west, hold surprisingly robust populations. Look to the Pocomoke River and its tributaries for your best bet. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are prime times, as the cats are actively feeding to regain condition. Night fishing is particularly effective. A local tip: many access points are along country roads and can be overgrown, so scouting during daylight hours is advised. Also, be prepared for the occasional snake encounter. The catfish in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits, from cut bait to chicken livers, can be effective. Don't overlook using live bait like nightcrawlers or small bluegills, especially in clearer water conditions. Be aware of tidal influences in the lower reaches of these rivers, as this can affect catfish activity.
