Flathead Catfish
Warrior, Alabama, offers some excellent opportunities for flathead catfish anglers. The Black Warrior River is the prime location, known for its healthy population of flatheads. Focus on areas with heavy cover, such as submerged logs, root balls, and deep holes near the riverbanks. Live bait is essential for targeting flatheads – bream, bullheads, or shad are all good choices. The best time to fish for flatheads is typically from late spring through early fall, with the peak season being during the warmer summer months. A helpful tip: fish during the night, as flatheads are primarily nocturnal predators. Several public boat ramps provide access to the Black Warrior River. The flathead catfish in this area are known for their large size and aggressive behavior. Fish exceeding 40 pounds are not uncommon, so be sure to use heavy tackle and be ready for a tough fight.
