Chasing blue catfish near Double Horn, Texas, means heading to the mighty Lake Travis. This deep, sprawling reservoir holds a healthy population of blues, some reaching impressive sizes. While you can catch blues year-round, the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are typically the most productive. During this time, the blues move shallower in search of baitfish. Cut shad is the go-to bait, but prepared stink baits can also be effective. A local tip is to target submerged humps and ledges in the main lake channel, as these areas often concentrate catfish. Boat access is essential for seriously targeting blues on Lake Travis, and several public boat ramps are available. Be prepared for potentially windy conditions, which can make navigation challenging. Lake Travis blues are known for their powerful runs, so ensure your gear is up to the task. Night fishing can also be very productive, especially during the warmer months.
