Blue Catfish
Lake Texoma, near Sadler, is renowned for its blue catfish fishery, drawing anglers from across the region. These whiskered giants thrive in Texoma's deep waters and abundant forage. Winter is a particularly productive time, as the blues school up in deeper areas of the lake. However, they can be caught year-round. Use large cut bait, such as shad or carp, and fish on the bottom in areas with structure or depth changes. A helpful tip: drift fishing with cut bait can be extremely effective for covering water and locating active fish. Be sure to use heavy tackle, as blue catfish in Texoma can reach weights exceeding 50 pounds. Lake Texoma has several state park access points and private marinas. Be aware of multi-state fishing regulations as the lake borders both Texas and Oklahoma.
