Flathead Catfish
Goldsboro, North Carolina, sits in prime flathead catfish territory, with the Neuse River being the star attraction. This river offers abundant structure and deep holes, perfect for targeting these whiskered giants. Flathead fishing is best from late spring through early fall, when the water is warmer and the catfish are actively feeding. Live bait, such as bream or shad, is the key to success. Look for them around submerged logs, bridge pilings, and deep bends in the river. A local tip: many anglers launch from the public boat ramp near downtown Goldsboro for easy access to productive stretches of the Neuse. Be prepared for a fight – flatheads in this area can reach impressive sizes. The Neuse River flatheads are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making them a prized catch for any catfish angler. Night fishing can also be extremely productive, as the flatheads become more active under the cover of darkness.
