Blue Catfish
Sherman, Texas, is a fantastic base for targeting blue catfish, primarily in Lake Texoma. This massive reservoir holds some truly impressive blue cats, and the techniques to catch them are as varied as the lake itself. Drift fishing with cut bait is a popular and effective method, especially on windy days. Look for blues in the main lake channel and around submerged humps and points. The colder months (November-March) can be particularly productive as the fish school up in deeper water. Warmer months find them scattered, but still catchable. A local tip is to use fresh shad, if available, as it's a favorite food source. Several marinas around Texoma offer bait and tackle, and many have guides who can show you the ropes. Be prepared for some hefty fish; Texoma blues are known for their size and fight!
