Popular destinations for Flathead Catfish include the Mississippi River near Memphis, TN, and the Red River near Shreveport, LA. They are ambush predators, often found near structure and cover.
Flathead Catfish Fishing in Kenner
Kenner, Louisiana, offers surprisingly good flathead catfish opportunities in its freshwater canals and bayous leading to Lake Pontchartrain. These whiskered giants thrive in the murky waters, often lurking near submerged structures like fallen trees and bridge pilings. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time for targeting flatheads, as they become more active and feed aggressively. Live bait is key, with bream, perch, or even small bullheads being top choices. Fish these baits on heavy tackle near the bottom, especially during the night when flatheads are most active. A good access point is the Bonnabel Boat Launch, providing access to various canals. Be mindful of the current, and adjust your weight accordingly to keep your bait on the bottom. The flatheads in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a serious fight.
