Blue Catfish
Blue catfish enthusiasts will find opportunities near Plum Grove, Texas, with Lake Houston being the primary destination. This reservoir is known for holding some hefty blues. Unlike channel cats that scavenge, blues are active predators, so larger cut bait or live bait can be very effective. The deeper channels and flats of Lake Houston are where you'll want to focus, especially during the cooler months. Winter and early spring can be particularly productive as the fish are concentrated. Use your electronics to locate schools of baitfish, as the blues won't be far behind. A heavy rod and reel are essential, as these fish can easily exceed 20 pounds. Look for areas near the dam or the river channel for the best chances. Be mindful of the wind on Lake Houston, as it can pick up quickly and make navigation challenging.
