Flathead Catfish
If you're after a monster, Burlington, NC, offers opportunities to tangle with flathead catfish. The Haw River is a prime location, known for holding some truly impressive flatheads. Targeting deep holes, particularly around submerged logs and rock piles, is key. Live bait, such as bream or shad, is the preferred choice for these predators. Fishing at night is often the most productive time. Be prepared for a long wait, as flatheads are ambush predators. A heavy rod and reel, along with strong line, are essential. Several access points along the Haw River provide bank fishing opportunities, but be aware of the potential for strong currents. The flathead catfish in the Haw River can reach impressive sizes, with fish over 50 pounds reported.
