Blue Catfish
Targeting Blue Catfish near Los Indios means heading to the Rio Grande River. While not as abundant as channel catfish, blues are present and can reach impressive sizes. The best time to target them is during the cooler months (October-March) when they are more active. Blue cats are primarily predatory, so live or cut baitfish like shad and mullet are your best bet. Focus your efforts in deeper holes, near submerged structure like fallen trees or rock piles, and along channel edges. Boat access is essential for effectively targeting these fish; the Brownsville Navigation District boat ramp provides access to the Rio Grande. A key piece of local knowledge: use a heavier weight to keep your bait on the bottom in the strong current. Blues in this area can range from a few pounds to well over 20, so be prepared for a fight!
