Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish near Katy, Texas, means heading to the Brazos River. This river system holds a population of blue catfish, some reaching impressive sizes. Focus your efforts on the deeper sections of the river, particularly around bends, submerged structure, and areas with strong current. Winter and early spring are often productive times for blue catfish, as they tend to congregate in deeper holes during the colder months. Fresh cut bait, such as shad or carp, is a top choice for enticing these larger catfish. A key tip is to use a heavy sinker to keep your bait on the bottom in the strong current. Boat access is crucial for effectively targeting blue catfish on the Brazos. Several boat ramps are available along the river, but be sure to check water levels before heading out. Be prepared for a good fight; blue catfish in the Brazos can easily exceed 20 pounds, and some even reach 50 pounds or more.
