Blue Catfish
For anglers targeting blue catfish near Jonestown, Lake Travis offers a fantastic opportunity to hook into some real giants. While not as heavily targeted as bass, the blue catfish population thrives in this reservoir, with fish exceeding 50 pounds a real possibility. The best time to target them is typically during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they move into shallower water to feed. Look for areas with deep channels, submerged timber, or rocky points. Using fresh cut bait, such as shad or perch, is a proven method. Drift fishing with a Santee Cooper rig is a popular technique. The Pace Bend Park area is known for its deeper water and can be a productive spot. Be prepared for a fight, as these fish are incredibly strong. Remember to check the Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for catfish size and bag limits on Lake Travis.
