Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish around Maryhill Estates, Kentucky, means focusing on the deeper holes and log jams in the Kentucky River and its larger tributaries. These behemoths are ambush predators, so structure is key. Summer and fall, when the water levels are stable, are the best times to pursue them. Live bait, such as bluegill or shad, is your best bet for enticing a bite. Be prepared for a serious fight! A strong rod and reel, along with heavy line, are essential. Consider fishing at night, as flatheads are most active under the cover of darkness. A helpful hint: scout out potential fishing spots during the day using sonar to identify deep holes and submerged timber. Flatheads in this region can reach impressive sizes, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon.
