Blue Catfish
For hefty Blue Catfish near Kenefick, Texas, Lake Houston and the lower reaches of the Trinity River are your best bets. These waters hold some impressive specimens. While Blues can be caught year-round, the warmer months (late spring through early fall) tend to be most productive. The key is finding deeper holes and channels where these catfish congregate. Fresh cut bait, particularly shad or mullet, is a go-to choice for many local anglers. A crucial tip is to invest in a quality fish finder to locate submerged structure and baitfish schools. Be prepared for a strong fight, as Blue Catfish are known for their power. Heavy tackle is a must! Also, consider fishing at night, when these giants are more active.
