Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Milton, Georgia, means focusing your efforts on the Chattahoochee River and Lake Lanier. These whiskered giants prefer deep holes and areas with heavy cover. Live bait is essential, with bluegill, shad, or even bullheads being top choices. Summer nights are prime time for flathead fishing. A key tip for success is to fish near areas with current, as flatheads often ambush prey in these locations. Be prepared for a battle, as these fish are incredibly strong. Also, be sure to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits. Flatheads in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon.
