Blue Catfish
For Blue Catfish enthusiasts visiting Primera, Texas, the Rio Grande and its associated waterways present a significant opportunity. While not as widely known as other catfish hotspots in Texas, the Lower Rio Grande Valley does hold some impressive Blues. Spring and early summer, during the catfish spawn, can be particularly productive, but consistent action can be found year-round. Use cut bait, live bait, or prepared catfish baits. Look for deeper holes and areas with current breaks. Be aware that access to the river can be challenging in some areas. A sturdy boat is recommended for navigating the Rio Grande. Be mindful of changing water levels, especially after rainfall upstream. Check local regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits before heading out. Many locals swear by fishing at night for bigger fish, so plan accordingly.
