If you're targeting blue catfish near Westover Hills, Texas, the sprawling Lake Worth is your best bet. This reservoir on the West Fork of the Trinity River offers excellent habitat for blues, with plenty of deep channels, submerged timber, and rocky points that these fish love. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are prime time. Blues tend to be more active in cooler water. Look for them staging near creek channels and deeper holes. For bank access, try the Lake Worth Boat Ramp area – it offers decent shoreline access and the chance to cast into deeper water. A local tip: shad is king here. Fresh cut shad or gizzard shad are almost irresistible to the larger blues. Be prepared for some hefty fish; Lake Worth has produced some impressive specimens over the years, and the population is healthy.
