Flathead Catfish
If you're after a true river monster, Riceboro, Georgia, offers excellent Flathead Catfish opportunities. The Ogeechee River, with its deep holes and abundant cover, is a prime location. Unlike channel catfish, flatheads are primarily predators, so live bait is key. Summer and early fall are the best times to target them, as they are most active in warmer water. A local tactic is to fish around submerged logs or near the base of the river's bluffs, where they like to ambush prey. Be prepared for a fight! These fish can grow to impressive sizes. Access to good flathead spots often requires a boat, and the river can be challenging to navigate in places, so proceed with caution. Another tip: fish at night. Flatheads are nocturnal feeders, and the cover of darkness increases your chances of landing a big one. Be sure to check Georgia's regulations regarding size and creel limits for catfish.
