Flathead Catfish
Targeting flathead catfish near Garysburg, NC, on the Roanoke River is a worthwhile pursuit for any serious catfisherman. This area provides the right mix of deep water, structure, and forage to grow trophy-sized flatheads. Unlike their channel cat cousins, flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts on areas with plenty of cover like fallen trees, undercut banks, and rock piles. Live bait is the key to success here, with bream or bullheads being local favorites. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are generally the most productive. A popular access point is the public boat ramp near Weldon, which gives you access to a good stretch of the river. Keep in mind that flatheads are masters of disguise, so be patient and persistent. A heavy rod and reel are essential when battling these powerful fish in heavy cover.
