Blue Catfish
For anglers targeting blue catfish near Neylandville, Texas, Lake Fork and Lake Cooper are again excellent choices. Both lakes have established populations of blues, with the potential for some truly impressive fish. Lake Fork, in particular, is known for producing trophy-sized catfish. The best times to target blue catfish are spring and fall, although they can be caught year-round. During the warmer months, they tend to move into deeper water. Cut bait, shad, and prepared catfish baits are all effective choices. A local tip: drift fishing with cut shad is a popular and productive method on Lake Fork. Use a drift sock to control your speed and cover more ground. Also, be prepared for some serious fights. These fish can grow to enormous sizes, and they are known for their powerful runs. Be sure to use heavy tackle and strong line. Night fishing can also be very productive, especially during the summer months. Look for areas with current or structure, and be patient. The reward could be the catfish of a lifetime.
