Blue Catfish
If you're chasing hefty blue catfish near Brookside Village, Texas, you'll want to focus your efforts on the nearby lakes and rivers. Anglers often find success in the deeper channels and holes of the Brazos River, known for its healthy catfish population. These fish thrive in the murky waters and can reach impressive sizes. Spring and fall are prime times to target blues, as they become more active with the moderate temperatures and increased feeding activity. For bank access, try areas along the Brazos River near county road crossings, being mindful of private property. A sturdy rod and reel are a must, along with heavy line and large circle hooks. Locals often use cut bait such as shad or mullet, or even live perch, to entice the bigger blues. Be prepared for a fight – these catfish are known for their strength and stamina!
