Flathead Catfish
For anglers seeking a nocturnal thrill, Bellville, Georgia, offers the chance to tangle with Flathead Catfish in the Ogeechee River. These whiskered giants are ambush predators, lurking in deep holes and around structure. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Live bait, such as bream or bullheads, is the key to success. Focus your efforts on areas with heavy cover, like fallen trees and undercut banks. Several access points along Highway 46 provide opportunities to fish from the bank. Be prepared for a long night and a potentially epic battle. Remember to use heavy tackle and a sturdy rod holder. Local tip: Check local regulations regarding baitfish and size limits before you head out.
