Flathead Catfish
Pine Prairie, Louisiana, offers some under-appreciated opportunities for flathead catfish. While not as heavily targeted as other species, these behemoths lurk in the deeper holes of the local rivers and bayous. Targeting flatheads requires patience and specialized tactics. Live bait, such as bream or bullheads, is the key to success. Fish them on heavy tackle near structure like submerged logs and undercut banks. Summer nights are prime time, as flatheads become more active under the cover of darkness. Be prepared for a long wait, but the reward can be a truly massive fish. Local tip: Scout the area beforehand to identify potential holding spots. Using a fish finder can help locate deep holes and submerged structure. Access to some of these areas may require a boat, but some bank fishing opportunities exist as well. Flatheads in Louisiana waters are known for their impressive size, with some exceeding 50 pounds. Be sure to have a net large enough to handle a fish of that size.
