If you’re fishing Lake Moultrie, you’re likely targeting one of the three main catfish species found in the area: blue catfish, flathead catfish, and channel catfish.
Each species has its own habits, preferred habitats, and feeding patterns. Blue catfish tend to stay in deeper water, flatheads are often found near structure, and channel cats are more common in shallower areas.
Understanding the difference can help you choose the right bait, location, and approach, making your time on the water more productive.
