Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Angier, NC, requires a bit more patience and strategy, but the reward can be a true trophy. Focus your efforts on the deeper holes and submerged structure within the Cape Fear River. These ambush predators prefer to lie in wait for their next meal. Live bait, such as bream or shad, is almost essential for enticing a flathead. Late summer and early fall are generally considered the best times, as the water temperatures start to cool and the flatheads become more active preparing for winter. A popular local tactic is to fish near the Buckhorn Dam, a little north of Angier on the Cape Fear, but be aware of the regulations regarding fishing near dams. Heavy tackle is a must; these fish are strong and can easily break lighter lines. Remember to handle these fish with care, as they are a valuable part of the ecosystem.
