Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near Folsom, Louisiana, the Pearl River is where you want to be. These ambush predators prefer deep water with plenty of cover, such as submerged logs, root balls, and rocky structures. Targeting them requires patience and the right bait. Live bait, such as bream or large shiners, is the key to success. Fish them on a Carolina rig or a three-way rig, ensuring your bait is near the bottom. Late spring through early fall is prime time, as flatheads are most active during warmer water temperatures. Night fishing is particularly effective. Be prepared for a fight, as flatheads are known for their powerful runs. A heavy-duty rod and reel are essential. Access to the Pearl River is available via several public boat launches, but be aware of the river's strong currents and potential hazards. Flatheads in the Pearl River can reach impressive sizes, with fish exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon, so be ready for a true trophy.
