Blue Catfish
Looking for a whiskerfish challenge near Waxahachie? Blue catfish are a viable target in Lake Waxahachie and the Trinity River. While the Trinity requires more travel, Lake Waxahachie offers easier access. Winter and early spring are excellent times to target blues as they congregate in deeper holes. Cut bait, particularly shad or perch, is the go-to bait. Look for blues around submerged timber and channel ledges. A heavy-duty rod and reel are essential, as these fish can reach impressive sizes. Lake Waxahachie's boat ramp provides good access. Be aware of submerged timber when navigating. Blue catfish in this area can range from a few pounds to well over 50, so be prepared for a battle. Many anglers have luck drifting cut bait along the river channel or anchoring near known catfish hotspots.
