We're talking about Channel Cats and Flatheads that'll make your arms ache and your fishing stories legendary. Starting at 7 PM, we'll hit the river when these whiskered giants are most active, giving you the best shot at landing a trophy. Whether you're a seasoned cat-chaser or new to the game, this trip is guaranteed to get your heart racing and your drag screaming.

What's the Deal?

Here's the lowdown: We meet up at 6 PM to get everything squared away, then hit the water at 7. Captain Cameron knows this river like the back of his hand, so we'll be heading straight to the catfish hotspots. We're talking deep holes, submerged structure, and all the prime real estate where big cats like to hang out. You'll be using top-notch gear and bait that these river monsters can't resist. And since it's just you and one other person, you'll get plenty of one-on-one time with the captain to pick his brain and hone your skills.

Night Fishing 101

Alright, let's talk strategy. Night fishing for cats is a whole different ballgame. We'll be using heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with line that can handle these bruisers. Cut bait, live bait, stink bait - we've got all the goodies these cats go nuts for. We'll set up multiple rods, some on the bottom and some suspended, to cover all the bases. Captain Cameron will show you how to detect those subtle bites in the dark and when to set the hook for maximum success. And don't worry about seeing in the dark - we've got lights on the boat that won't spook the fish but will let you see the action.

Catfish on the Menu

Let's talk about our main targets: Flathead Catfish. These bad boys are the apex predators of the Susquehanna, and they grow to monstrous sizes. We're talking fish that can top 50 pounds or more! Flatheads are ambush predators, lurking in deep holes and around submerged logs, waiting to inhale anything that looks like an easy meal. They're most active at night, which is why our evening trips are prime time for hooking into one of these beasts. The fight of a big flathead is something you'll never forget - it's like trying to reel in a Volkswagen!

We'll also be targeting Channel Catfish, the more common but no less exciting cousins of the flathead. These whisker-fish are known for their hard fights and excellent eating quality. They typically run smaller than flatheads, but don't be surprised if we hook into a 20+ pounder. Channels are more active feeders, often cruising around looking for a meal, which means we can catch them using a variety of techniques.

Both species are at their most active during the warmer months, but we can catch them year-round. Summer nights are especially productive, as the cats feed aggressively in the warm water. Fall can be fantastic too, as the fish fatten up for winter. No matter when you come, you're in for some serious rod-bending action!

So grab your snacks, your lucky fishing hat, and your sense of adventure - it's time to book your spot and get ready for a night of fishing you'll never forget on the Susquehanna River. Trust me, once you feel that first big cat on the line, you'll be hooked for life!
