Flathead Catfish
If you're after a trophy flathead catfish, Jennette, Arkansas, could be your destination. The mighty Mississippi River and its connected backwaters hold some truly massive flatheads. Unlike channel cats, flatheads prefer live bait, such as bluegill or shad. Target them around heavy structure, like submerged logs and deep holes near the river channel. Summer and early fall are prime times, with flatheads often becoming more active at night. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can put up a tremendous battle. A local tip: focus on areas where smaller creeks or rivers enter the Mississippi, as these areas often concentrate baitfish. Several public access points are available along the river, but be mindful of barge traffic. The flathead catfish in this area are known for their substantial size, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon.
