Flathead Catfish
For Flathead Catfish enthusiasts, Ragland, Alabama, is a worthwhile destination. The Coosa River is the main draw, offering the slow-moving, snag-filled environments that Flatheads prefer. Focus on areas with plenty of submerged timber, log jams, and undercut banks. Live bait is essential – bream, bullheads, or even large shiners are all effective. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are the prime time to target Flatheads, as they become more active and aggressive. Night fishing is particularly productive. A helpful local tip: explore the areas near the mouths of creeks and tributaries that feed into the Coosa. These areas often hold concentrations of baitfish, which attract Flatheads. Be prepared for a serious battle; these fish are powerful and can put up a tremendous fight. Remember to handle these fish with care, as they are a valuable part of the ecosystem.
