Flathead Catfish
Pursuing flathead catfish near Mint Hill, North Carolina, will likely lead you to the larger rivers and reservoirs in the region, such as the Catawba River and its impoundments like Lake Wylie and Mountain Island Lake. These waterways offer the deep water and structure that flatheads prefer. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time for targeting these whiskered giants. Flatheads are ambush predators, so focus on areas with current breaks, submerged logs, and deep holes. Live bait, such as sunfish or bullheads, is the most effective presentation. Be prepared for a strong fight, as flatheads are known for their power. A practical tip is to fish near the mouths of creeks entering the main lake. Flatheads often congregate in these areas to feed. Ensure you have heavy-duty tackle and consult the NC Wildlife Resources Commission regulations for size and creel limits.
