Flathead Catfish
If you're after flathead catfish near White Bluff, Tennessee, you'll want to set your sights on the Harpeth River or make a short drive to the Cumberland River. The Cumberland, in particular, is known for producing some hefty flatheads. These rivers offer the deep holes and structure that flatheads love. Live bait is key – bluegill, shad, and even bullheads are all excellent choices. Target areas with heavy cover, such as submerged logs, undercut banks, and deep bends in the river. Summer nights are prime time for flathead fishing, as they become more active in the cooler hours. For the Harpeth, focus on the deeper pools downstream from White Bluff. For the Cumberland, consider launching from a boat ramp near Ashland City and working your way upstream. Be prepared for a fight – flatheads are strong fish! Heavy tackle is a must. Be sure to check local regulations regarding tackle restrictions and size/creel limits for catfish.
