Can't help you with the catfishing in your area but did want to say hello and welcome to NC Angler!
Hello, I'm new to this site also. I've caught some cats right up ther in Larson creek park not too big around 12 in, but where there is little cats there has to be big ones, I was using worms,maybe with some catfishbait bigger ones can be caught. the water is brackiash there I.ve caught some small fluke there plus i've seen some crabs. but ther is plenty of small sunfish & river spots there. that's the trewnt river right there.What about the Catawba? I haven't tried it yet but was thinking about it...
thanks for the help, went out tonight and found a decent spot on the trent. I got a 36# flathead.
