Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Greensboro, Georgia, means focusing on Lake Oconee and the Oconee River. Oconee is known for its healthy population of these whiskered giants. Spring and fall are prime times, as the flatheads become more active in shallower water during spawning and pre-winter feeding frenzies. Look for them around submerged timber, creek mouths, and rocky points. A key local tip is to use live bait – bream or shad are local favorites. Night fishing can be incredibly productive. Be aware of the lake's fluctuating water levels, which can impact access to certain areas. Check lake levels before heading out and consider using a fish finder to locate submerged structure. Anglers report success drifting live bait near the dam in the deeper sections of the lake.
