Catfish Fishing in Susquehanna River

(Ictalurus punctatus/furcatus; Pylodictis olivaris; Ameiurus catus)

If you’re looking for fishing action that will keep you going all year, then Susquehanna River Catfishing is one way to do it. Both local and visiting anglers agree that going after Cats on the longest river on the East Coast is thrilling because you never know what you might catch.

This impressive body of water is home to both Channel and Flathead Catfish, and they come in numbers and sizes that would make any angler happy. Channel Cats are native to the Susquehanna and they can grow over 30 inches long. Flathead Catfish are bigger and if you’re on the water chasing a trophy, chances are, it will come in the form of a Flathead pushing 35–40 inches.

Night fishing for Cats is very popular on the Susquehanna, so if you’re up for a different kind of adventure, this might be your thing. It’s recommended that you use very strong gear when targeting these barbeled fish, to avoid snapping the line on the rocks. If you’re going after a lunker, then you should have some large live bait to get it to bite.

Of course, you don’t have to go after Susquehanna Cats just to chase your next record. Even when you’re looking to catch some dinner, you’re gonna have an awesome time.

Some of the most popular towns where you can find charters are Harrisburg, Marietta, and Goldsboro, all you have to do is pick. There are plenty of fishing guides dotted on the river that can show you the hotspots. All the equipment is included in the price, so it’s up to you to show up with a valid fishing license, as well as some food and drinks.

I was able to stay busy all day catching smallmouth and largemouth bass, along with the occasional bluegill. If you're looking for a fun day on the water, this is a good spot to go fishing.

Beautiful scenery!! Caught lots of fish. Had a wonderful time. We will definitely be returning!

Not a lot of shade obviously so come prepared to shield yourself from the sun. Also, the Oliver Pub & Grill has awesome food

Pick cooler weather for bigger bass. July is not the best time, although our guide made it a great experience. And hire a guide who knows his way around the rivers there to ensure you have the best chance to catch the fish you're after.
