Blue Catfish
Poynor, Texas, sitting close to Lake Palestine, is a great jumping-off point for chasing Blue Catfish. Palestine is known for producing some impressive blues. Look for them in the main lake channel and around submerged structure, especially during the cooler months. Winter and early spring are particularly productive as the big blues gorge themselves before spawning. Cut bait, especially shad or perch, is the go-to bait. For bank access, try fishing the causeway near the dam; many anglers have luck there. If you're fishing from a boat, pay attention to your electronics and look for submerged humps and drop-offs in the main lake. A drift sock can be helpful for controlled presentations in the wind.
