Flathead Catfish
Pendergrass, Georgia, puts you within striking distance of some excellent flathead catfish waters. Lake Lanier, in particular, is known for holding some true giants. Target these whiskered predators during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around structure like submerged timber, creek channels, and rocky points. Live bait is king when it comes to targeting flatheads. Bluegill or bullheads are preferred offerings. If you're fishing Lanier, consider launching from one of the many public ramps on the northern end of the lake and fishing the Chattahoochee River arm. A key to success is patience; flathead fishing often involves long waits, but the reward of landing a massive fish is well worth it. Be sure to use heavy tackle – these fish are powerful and will test your gear.
