Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish enthusiasts, Livonia, Louisiana, offers access to the fertile waters of the Atchafalaya Basin, a prime location for targeting these whiskered giants. The Atchafalaya River and its connecting bayous are home to a healthy population of flatheads. Summer and fall are generally considered the best times to fish for them, as they become more active in warmer water. Focus on areas with heavy cover, such as submerged logs, undercut banks, and deep holes. Live bait is the key to success when targeting flatheads. Bluegill, bullheads, and large shiners are all excellent choices. Fish them on a Carolina rig or a three-way rig, using heavy tackle. A local tip: fish at night, when flatheads are most active. Several boat launches around Livonia provide access to the Atchafalaya Basin. Be prepared for a fight, as flatheads are known for their powerful runs and stubborn nature. The Atchafalaya is known for producing some truly massive flatheads, so be sure to bring your A-game.
