Flathead Catfish
If you're hunting for trophy Flathead Catfish, Fort Deposit, Alabama, offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The local creeks and rivers that feed into the Alabama River system hold some real giants. Focus your efforts on the deeper holes and bends of these waterways, especially where there's plenty of submerged timber or structure. Spring and early summer, during the pre-spawn and spawn, are prime times to target these fish as they become more active and aggressive. Night fishing is particularly effective. A key to success here is fresh, live bait – bream or bullheads are local favorites. Be aware that access can be limited in some areas, so research public access points and boat ramps beforehand. The Alabama River basin is known for its healthy population of flatheads, and you might just hook into a true monster.
