Flathead Catfish
Trent Woods, North Carolina, might not be the first place that comes to mind for trophy flathead catfish, but the Trent River definitely holds some impressive specimens. Targeting these whiskered giants requires patience and the right approach. Live bait, such as bream or shad, is the key to success. Focus on deep holes, channel bends, and areas with structure like submerged logs or rock piles. Night fishing is particularly productive. A heavy-duty rod and reel are essential to handle the size and power of these fish. Be aware of strong currents in the Trent River, especially after rainfall. Public boat ramps provide access to the river, but be prepared for limited parking during peak seasons. Always check the local regulations for specific rules regarding catfish fishing.
