Flathead Catfish
If you're after a monster flathead catfish, Edenton, North Carolina, is a destination you should seriously consider. The Chowan River, with its deep holes and abundant structure, provides ideal habitat for these whiskered giants. Live bait is key – think large bream or bullheads fished on heavy tackle near submerged logs or bridge pilings. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive. Night fishing can be particularly effective. Several boat ramps provide access to the river, but be aware of strong currents, especially after heavy rains. A local tip is to scout out areas with noticeable current breaks, as flatheads often ambush prey from these locations. Flatheads in the Chowan River can reach impressive sizes, with specimens exceeding 50 pounds not uncommon. Be prepared for a serious fight!
