Blue Catfish
If you're after blue catfish near Ganado, Texas, Lake Texana is your destination. This reservoir is known to hold some impressive blue cats. Target deeper areas of the lake, particularly near the dam and along the old river channel. Cut bait, such as shad or mullet, is a proven choice. Drift fishing or anchoring and fishing on the bottom are both effective techniques. Winter and early spring can be particularly productive, as the fish are actively feeding to prepare for spawning. Be sure to use heavy tackle, as these fish can be quite large. The boat ramp at Mustang Lake is a popular access point. Pay attention to wind direction, as it can influence where the catfish are holding. Many local anglers find success using a Carolina rig with a circle hook for blues on Texana.
