Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish in the Jacksonport area, the White River is your primary target. This river holds some impressive flatheads, and the key is finding the right structure. Look for deep holes, submerged timber, and areas where the river bends. Live bait is the name of the game here. Large bullheads or green sunfish are excellent choices. Fish them on heavy tackle, as flatheads are powerful fighters. The summer months offer the best opportunity, especially during the night. Many anglers anchor near deep holes and fish the bottom with live bait. Bank fishing opportunities are available near the Jacksonport State Park, but a boat will significantly expand your options. Be aware of strong currents, especially after heavy rains or dam releases. Always check water conditions before heading out.
