Flathead Catfish
For anglers targeting flathead catfish, Conway, NC, provides access to the Meherrin River, a waterway known to hold some impressive specimens. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts on areas with heavy cover and deep water. Fallen trees, undercut banks, and bridge pilings are all prime locations. Live bait, such as bream or bullheads, is the preferred method for targeting these larger catfish. The best time to fish for flatheads is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, with nighttime fishing often proving most productive. Be prepared for a fight; these fish can be incredibly strong. A local tip: scout your fishing locations during daylight hours to identify potential snags and hazards. Access to the Meherrin River is available via a public boat ramp near Conway. The flathead catfish population here is relatively healthy, with the potential for catching fish exceeding 40 pounds, making it a worthwhile destination for serious catfishermen.
