Flathead Catfish
For flathead catfish near Pass Christian, you'll need to venture slightly inland to find suitable habitat. The Pascagoula River system, offers the best opportunities within a reasonable driving distance. Flatheads prefer live bait, such as bream or bullheads. Target areas with heavy cover, like submerged logs, root systems, and undercut banks. Flatheads are ambush predators, so presenting your bait near these structures is crucial. Night fishing is often the most productive approach. A crucial local tip is to use heavy tackle; flatheads are powerful fish, and the heavy cover necessitates strong line and stout hooks to prevent break-offs. Remember to handle flatheads with care, as they have a strong bite and sharp spines. Also, be aware of changing river conditions and potential hazards like submerged debris.
