Flathead Catfish
If you're after a true whiskered giant, Funston, Georgia, offers some excellent flathead catfish opportunities. The Flint River, which flows nearby, is prime habitat. These fish love to lurk around structure like submerged logs and deep holes, especially where there's a good current. Look for these areas, particularly on outside bends of the river. Spring and early summer, when the water is warming and they're spawning, can be especially productive. Night fishing is your best bet for targeting the biggest flatheads. For bank access, try some of the county road crossings along the Flint River; be sure to obtain landowner permission where required. A heavy rod and reel are essential, along with live bait like bream or bullheads to entice these predators. Be prepared for a serious fight!
