Blue Catfish
If you're after some hefty blue catfish near Sansom Park, Texas, the West Fork of the Trinity River is your destination. While not as widely known as some other Texas catfish hotspots, the Trinity holds some impressive blues. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, when they are actively feeding to bulk up for the spawn. Look for deeper holes and areas with current breaks. Cut bait, particularly shad or other oily fish, is the go-to bait for blues. A practical tip is to use a heavy sinker to keep your bait on the bottom in the current. Be aware of fluctuating water levels, especially after rainfall, as this can significantly impact the fishing. Blues in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
