Flathead Catfish
Edison, Georgia, provides access to excellent flathead catfish fishing in Lake Walter F. George (Lake Eufaula) and the Chattahoochee River. These apex predators can reach enormous sizes, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon. Summer nights are prime time for targeting flatheads, as they become more active under the cover of darkness. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, deep holes, and areas with strong current. Live bait, such as bream or bullheads, is essential for enticing these giants. A local tactic is to fish near the mouths of creeks that flow into the lake, as flatheads often ambush prey in these areas. Be sure to use heavy tackle, as these fish are incredibly strong. The Chattahoochee River below the dam also holds good numbers of flatheads, accessible by boat from various public ramps.
