Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish around Muenster, Texas, requires a bit of travel, as you'll likely need to venture toward the larger river systems or reservoirs further afield. While not right in Muenster, the Red River to the north offers opportunities for blue catfish. Winter and early spring can be productive times, as the cats often congregate in deeper holes. Cut bait, particularly shad or other oily fish, is a proven bait for blue catfish. A helpful tip is to use a fish finder to locate submerged channels and structure, as these are prime areas to target. Be aware of strong currents in the Red River and take necessary safety precautions. Also, always check the latest fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits for blue catfish in the specific water body you're planning to fish.
