Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near Mayersville, Mississippi, the mighty Mississippi River is your playground. This section of the river is renowned for its large flatheads, which thrive in the deep holes, around submerged logs, and along the riprap banks. The best time to target these whiskered giants is late spring through fall, when the water is warmer and they are actively feeding. Live bait is key here – think large bluegills or bullheads. Many anglers anchor up near structure and fish on the bottom with heavy tackle. Be prepared for a long wait, but the reward can be a true monster! A local tip: River conditions can change rapidly, so always check the water levels and current before heading out. Also, be aware of barge traffic, as it is a common occurrence on this stretch of the river. Expect hard-fighting fish that test your gear to the limit.
