Flathead Catfish
If you're chasing trophy flathead catfish in Georgia, consider a trip to Adrian. The Ohoopee River, which winds near Adrian, is known for its healthy population of these whiskered giants. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the flatheads become more active during their spawning season. Focus your efforts on submerged timber, deep bends, and areas where the current breaks around structure. Live bait is king here – large bream or bullheads are hard for a big flathead to resist. A local tip: access to the Ohoopee can be limited, so scouting out potential bank fishing spots or boat ramps (like the one near Highway 80) is crucial. Be prepared for a fight; these fish can get well over 50 pounds! Remember to handle them with care to ensure the continued health of this fishery.
