Flathead Catfish

Various

Flathead Catfish are a prized catch in the waters around Perryville, Maryland, particularly in the Susquehanna River. These ambush predators thrive in the deep, murky sections of the river, often near submerged timber or rocky ledges. The best time to target Flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall (May-October), with peak activity often occurring at night. Live bait is crucial, with bluegills or bullheads being top choices. A local tip: focus your efforts on areas where the river bottom transitions from soft mud to harder structure. Access to the Susquehanna River can be gained via the public boat ramp at Susquehanna State Park, though be aware of seasonal closures. The Flathead population in this area is known for producing some truly impressive specimens, so be prepared for a battle of wills when you hook into one of these river monsters. Heavy tackle and patience are key!
