Flathead Catfish
The Conecuh River near East Brewton, Alabama, is a good bet if you're after flathead catfish. These fish thrive in the river's deeper holes and around submerged structure like fallen trees and rock piles. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive for flathead fishing, as they become more active with the rising water temperatures. Live bait is the key to success – bream, shad, or even small carp are popular choices. Focus your efforts on areas with slower currents and plenty of cover. Many access points are available along the river, but a small boat or kayak can greatly expand your fishing area. Be mindful of the river's current and any submerged obstacles. Remember to obtain an Alabama fishing license before fishing, and always check the local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
