Flathead Catfish
If you're targeting flathead catfish in the Pageland, South Carolina area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Lynches River. This blackwater river system offers ideal habitat for flatheads, with plenty of submerged timber, deep holes, and undercut banks where they like to ambush prey. The best time to fish for flatheads here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. They become more active as the water temperature rises. Live bait is key – bream, bullheads, or even large shiners fished on a Carolina rig near structure are your best bet. A popular access point is the SC 9 bridge crossing, where you can launch a small boat or fish from the bank. Be aware that the Lynches River can be prone to flooding after heavy rains, so check local conditions before heading out. Remember, patience is crucial when targeting these ambush predators.
