Flathead Catfish
Brewton, Alabama, is a prime location for flathead catfish, thanks to the Conecuh River's healthy population of these whiskered giants. The river's slow-moving currents, deep holes, and abundant structure provide ideal habitat. The best time to target flatheads is from late spring through early fall, with the warmer months being particularly productive. A key local tip is to use live bait, such as bream or shad, fished near submerged logs or undercut banks. Access to the river is available at several public boat ramps and parks, but be prepared for some challenging navigation due to shallow areas and debris. Flathead catfish in the Conecuh River are known for their impressive size, with fish over 50 pounds being caught regularly. Be sure to use heavy tackle and be prepared for a tough fight!
