Flathead Catfish
If you're hunting flatheads in the Woodland, Mississippi area, you're in prime catfish country. The Tombigbee River and its backwaters are the places to be. Flatheads here can grow to impressive sizes, with many anglers targeting the trophy fish that lurk in deep holes and around submerged timber. The best time to target these whiskered giants is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are actively feeding. Live bait is key – think large bream or bullheads. A good access point is the boat ramp at the Aberdeen Lock and Dam, giving you access to a wide stretch of the river. Be aware of strong currents, especially after rainfall, and always check water levels before heading out.
