Flathead Catfish
Poplarville, Mississippi, might not be the first place that comes to mind for flathead catfish, but the Pearl River and its surrounding waterways hold some impressive specimens. These whiskered giants lurk in the deep holes and under submerged structure, waiting for their next meal. Targeting flatheads requires patience and specialized gear. Live bait, such as bream or bullheads, is the key to success. Fish them on a heavy Carolina rig near log jams, deep bends, or bridge pilings. Summer and fall are generally the best times to target flatheads, as they are actively feeding. Be prepared for a battle, as these fish are incredibly strong. Access to the Pearl River can be found at various boat ramps and public access points. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits. The flathead catfish in this region are known for their impressive size, so you might just hook into a true trophy.
