Flathead Catfish
Anglers targeting flathead catfish near Betterton, Maryland, should focus their efforts on the tidal portions of the Sassafras River. This river system, flowing into the Chesapeake Bay, offers suitable habitat for these whiskered predators. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are when flatheads are most active. Look for areas with significant structure, such as fallen trees, rock piles, or deep holes near channel edges. Live bait, like bluegills or bullheads, is often the most effective presentation. Be prepared for a long wait, as flathead fishing often requires patience. Access to the river is available via several public boat ramps, but be mindful of the strong tidal currents. Flatheads in this area can reach impressive sizes, so use heavy tackle and be prepared for a powerful fight.
