Blue Catfish
For anglers targeting blue catfish near Missouri City, the Brazos River is your primary destination. This river system holds a healthy population of blues, with the potential for some truly impressive catches. Look for deep holes, channel bends, and areas with structure such as submerged logs or rocks. Cut bait, such as shad or mullet, is a popular choice for bait. Using a Carolina rig or a three-way rig is effective for presenting your bait on the bottom. Night fishing can be particularly productive, especially during the warmer months. Be aware of strong currents and potential snags. The area near Sugar Land, a short drive from Missouri City, offers several access points to the Brazos River. Always check river levels and weather conditions before heading out.
