Flathead Catfish
Hardeeville, South Carolina, offers a unique opportunity to tangle with Flathead Catfish in the murky waters of the Savannah River and its connected waterways. These bruisers thrive in the deep holes and around structure like submerged trees and bridge pilings. While present year-round, the warmer months (late spring through early fall) are generally considered the best time to target them, as their metabolism increases and they become more active feeders. Live bait is king for Flatheads; large bream, bullheads, or even cut bait can entice a strike. Sturdy tackle is a must, as these fish can grow to impressive sizes. A local tip: Focus your efforts around the confluence of the Savannah River and its tributaries, where Flatheads often ambush prey. Be mindful of strong currents and boat traffic on the Savannah River. Several public boat ramps provide access, but scouting for less pressured areas can pay off.
