Lake Corpus Christi, near Beeville, is a solid destination for anglers targeting blue catfish. The lake's diverse structure and healthy forage base support a good population of blues. Unlike some fisheries, blues are caught year-round here, with peak periods in the spring and fall. Drift fishing with cut bait (shad or mullet) is a popular and effective technique. Look for deeper channels and flats adjacent to the old river channel. Jug lines are also commonly used. Be mindful of the wind, as it can pick up quickly on the lake. Choke Canyon State Park provides multiple boat ramps and camping facilities. Many locals also fish from the bank near the dam and other accessible shoreline areas.
