Blue Catfish
If you're after hefty blue catfish, Springer, Oklahoma, offers some excellent opportunities. The primary draw is nearby Lake Texoma, renowned for its trophy-sized blues. Fish exceeding 50 pounds are not uncommon, and the lake record is substantially higher. The best time to target these giants is during the spring spawn (late April-May) and again in the fall (October-November) as they feed heavily preparing for winter. Summer nights can also be productive. For bank access, try areas around the Washita River arm of the lake. If you're fishing from a boat, focus on deeper channels and structure using sonar to locate concentrations of fish. Cut shad is the go-to bait, but many local anglers also have success with prepared catfish baits. Be prepared for a fight – these fish are strong! A good, sturdy rod and reel setup with heavy line is essential.
