Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish enthusiasts, the waterways around Hammond, Louisiana, offer a chance to tangle with these impressive predators. The Tangipahoa River, with its deep holes and abundant cover, is a prime location. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around structure like fallen trees, submerged logs, and undercut banks. Live bait is key – bream, shad, or even bullheads are excellent choices. Summer and early fall are generally considered the best times to target flatheads, as they are most active when the water is warm. Access to the river is available at several public boat launches, though a sturdy boat is recommended to navigate the currents and find the best fishing spots. Be prepared for a fight – these fish are powerful! Local anglers often fish at night for flatheads, using heavy tackle and strong line to handle the potential for a truly massive catch.
