Flathead Catfish
Looking to tangle with some serious whiskers in Mississippi? Amory, MS, offers excellent flathead catfish opportunities. The Tombigbee River, which flows near Amory, is the prime location. Flatheads here can reach impressive sizes, often exceeding 50 pounds. Live bait is key – think bream or bullheads fished on the bottom near structure like submerged logs and deep holes. Summer and early fall are generally the most productive times, as the water warms and flatheads become more active. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, along with heavy line. Bank access is available in some areas, but a boat will significantly expand your reach. Be aware of strong currents in the Tombigbee, especially after heavy rains. Local tip: Check water levels before you go and focus on areas where smaller feeder creeks enter the main river channel, as these often hold baitfish and attract flatheads.
