Targeting blue catfish near Moulton, Texas requires a bit of strategic planning, as there are no major catfish hotspots immediately nearby. However, venturing a short distance to the Guadalupe River or some of the larger private lakes in the surrounding area can yield excellent results. Winter and early spring are often prime times for targeting larger blues, as they tend to be more active during cooler months. Cut bait, such as shad or mullet, is a reliable choice for attracting these whiskered giants. Check Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits. While public access can be limited, persistence in finding a good spot is key. Focusing on deeper holes and areas with submerged structure can increase your chances of success. Remember that blue catfish can be quite strong, so be sure to use appropriate tackle. A sturdy rod and reel, along with heavy line, are essential for landing these impressive fish.
