Flathead Catfish
Flathead Catfish in the Harrells, North Carolina area call for a trip to the Cape Fear River. This river system, while not as well-known as some for flatheads, holds a healthy population of these whiskered giants. Focus your efforts on the deeper holes, especially those near log jams, submerged trees, and rocky outcroppings. Live bait is essential; big bream, bullheads, or even large shiners will do the trick. Night fishing is particularly effective, as flatheads are nocturnal hunters. Be prepared for a battle – these fish are strong! Utilize heavy tackle and sturdy rods and reels. Access to the Cape Fear is available via several boat ramps, but be mindful of the river's current and potential hazards. A helpful tip is to target areas where smaller creeks or streams enter the Cape Fear, as these spots often concentrate baitfish and draw in the flatheads. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for catfish.
