Flathead Catfish
If you're chasing flathead catfish in Maryland, don't overlook Crisfield. While known for its saltwater fishing, the freshwater tributaries of the Tangier Sound offer surprisingly good flathead action. Target the tidal portions of the Manokin River and Big Annemessex River. These rivers have deep holes and plenty of structure like submerged logs and undercut banks that flatheads love. The best time to target them is from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are warmer. Night fishing is particularly effective. A local tip: many anglers launch from the public ramp at Somers Cove Marina and then navigate upriver. Be mindful of the tides, as they can be strong and affect boat control and fishing depth. The flatheads in this area aren't pressured as heavily as in some other Maryland waterways, so you might find some truly impressive fish.
