Flathead Catfish
Hamlet, North Carolina, offers some excellent opportunities for wrestling with flathead catfish. The Pee Dee River and its tributaries are the places to target these whiskered giants. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, deep holes, and plenty of cover like submerged logs and root balls. Live bait is king when targeting flatheads. Bluegill, bullheads, or even large shiners are all excellent choices. Fish them on a Carolina rig or three-way rig to keep them near the bottom. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the most productive. Night fishing is particularly effective, as flatheads become more active under the cover of darkness. A local's trick is to target the areas just downstream of dams or bridge pilings, as these spots often hold concentrations of baitfish and, consequently, flatheads. Be prepared for a serious fight; these fish can reach impressive sizes in the Pee Dee River system.
