Blue Catfish
If you're targeting blue catfish in Blooming Grove, Texas, Richland Chambers Reservoir is your go-to destination. This large reservoir is known for its healthy population of blues, some reaching impressive sizes. The best time to fish for blue catfish here is typically from late spring through fall. During the warmer months, blues are actively feeding, and you'll have good success drifting cut bait or using live bait like shad. A key tip for fishing Richland Chambers is to focus on areas with submerged timber or channel ledges, as these provide prime ambush points for catfish. The FM 416 bridge offers easy bank access.
