Blue Catfish
For anglers targeting Blue Catfish near Floresville, the San Antonio River and its associated lakes and reservoirs offer good opportunities. While not known for producing trophy-sized blues, the river system holds a healthy population of fish in the 5-20 pound range. The best approach is to target deeper holes and areas with structure, such as fallen trees and submerged rocks. Cut bait, such as shad or perch, is a popular and effective bait. Trotlines and juglines are also commonly used, but be sure to check local regulations regarding their use. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for blue catfish, as the fish are more active during these periods. A local tip: access to the river can be limited in some areas, so be sure to scout out potential fishing spots beforehand. Also, be aware that the river can be prone to flooding, so check water levels before you go.
