Private 8hour evening catfish fishing on Susquehanna RiverCaptain Cameron guides trips targeting Channel and Flathead CatfishMaximum 2 guests with Wednesday through Sunday availability
If you're looking to tangle with some seriously impressive catfish, Captain Cameron's 8-hour evening trips on the Susquehanna River deliver exactly what serious anglers are after. These private charters run Wednesday through Sunday starting at 6:00 PM, giving you and one buddy exclusive access to some of the best flathead and channel catfish waters in the region. With just two spots available, you'll get the personalized attention and prime fishing spots that make these trips a customer favorite among catfish enthusiasts.
Your evening starts as the sun begins to set – prime time for when these big cats start moving and feeding. Captain Cameron knows the Susquehanna's deeper holes, current breaks, and structure where monster flatheads love to ambush prey. This isn't your typical bank fishing experience; you'll be targeting specific spots where the big fish hang out, using proven techniques that consistently put fish in the boat. The 8-hour window gives you plenty of time to work different areas as conditions change throughout the night. You'll want to pack your own snacks and drinks since meals aren't included, and don't forget your fishing license – it's required for all anglers. The intimate 2-person capacity means you won't be crowding around with a big group, just quality fishing time with an experienced guide who's dedicated to putting you on fish.
Captain Cameron specializes in targeting the deeper channels and rocky structure that flatheads call home. These fish are ambush predators, so expect to be fishing with live bait near cover – think submerged logs, rock piles, and undercut banks where these bruisers wait for an easy meal. The Susquehanna's current provides perfect conditions for presenting baits naturally, and Cameron knows exactly how to read the water and position for success. You'll likely be using medium-heavy to heavy tackle capable of handling fish that can easily top 20-30 pounds. The evening timing is crucial since flatheads are most active during low-light conditions, and the transition from dusk into darkness often produces the most explosive strikes. Channel cats are also on the menu, and they'll often be the first to bite as you work towards the bigger flathead targets.

Flathead catfish are the main attraction here, and for good reason – these prehistoric-looking fighters are among the most sought-after freshwater species in North America. Susquehanna flatheads commonly range from 15-40 pounds, with true giants pushing 50+ pounds lurking in the deeper holes. Unlike their channel cat cousins, flatheads are exclusively live-bait feeders, preferring fresh bluegill, suckers, or other live fish. They're solitary ambush predators that stake out prime territory and defend it fiercely. What makes flatheads so exciting is their incredible power – when a big flathead takes your bait and makes its initial run, you'll feel every ounce of that muscle. The best action typically happens from late spring through early fall, with summer evening trips producing consistently solid results. These fish are also excellent table fare, with firm, white meat that's prized by anglers who know good eating fish.
Channel catfish round out your target species and provide steady action throughout the evening. While they might not reach the massive sizes of flatheads, channels are scrappy fighters that readily take a variety of baits. Susquehanna channels typically run 2-8 pounds with occasional fish pushing into double digits. They're more active feeders than flatheads and will often keep your rods busy while you're waiting for that monster flathead bite. Channels are also more tolerant of various bait presentations, making them great for building confidence early in the trip. Their willingness to bite makes them perfect for anglers of all skill levels, and they're outstanding eating fish that many consider superior to flatheads at the dinner table.

Our 2018 G3 aluminum fishing boat cuts through the Susquehanna's current with ease, giving you stable casting and plenty of room to work those catfish. At 18 feet, she's built tough for river conditions while keeping noise down so you won't spook your targets. The onboard fish finder helps locate those deep channel holes where the big flatheads hang out, while GPS keeps us on productive spots even as darkness falls. With space for two anglers plus Captain Cameron, you'll have room to spread out without bumping rods. The aluminum hull handles rocky shallows and debris that can challenge other boats on this river system. Perfect for those evening catfish runs when the bite heats up.
