Flathead Catfish
If you're after a true heavyweight, consider targeting flathead catfish in the waters near Elko, South Carolina. The Edisto River, which flows nearby, is known to hold some impressive flatheads. These fish are ambush predators, preferring to lurk near structure such as fallen trees, undercut banks, and deep holes. Night fishing is often the most productive, as flatheads are primarily nocturnal. Live bait, such as bream or bullheads, is the key to success. A local tip: focus your efforts near areas where the river narrows or where there are significant changes in depth. The flatheads in this area can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 50 pounds. Be sure to use heavy tackle and be prepared for a long fight. Always check the SCDNR regulations for any specific rules or restrictions regarding catfish fishing in the area.
