Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Siloam, Georgia, means heading to Lake Oconee. This reservoir holds some truly impressive flatheads, thanks to its abundant population of large baitfish like shad and bream. Unlike channel cats, flatheads are primarily ambush predators, so focus on structure like submerged timber, creek channels, and deep holes. Live bait is key—bluegill, shad, or even small bullheads are all excellent choices. The warmer months, particularly summer and early fall, are best for flathead fishing, with nighttime being especially productive. Access to the lake is available at several public boat ramps. Be aware that flatheads prefer deeper water and often hold tight to cover, so a fish finder is highly recommended to locate potential hotspots.
