If you're after some whiskered giants, the Trinity River near Westworth Village holds a population of blue catfish that can reach impressive sizes. While not as abundant as channel cats, the blues are definitely present and offer a trophy fishing opportunity. The best time to target blue catfish is during the cooler months, from fall through spring. They tend to be more active in deeper water during the day, especially during the winter. Look for them in the deeper holes and channels of the Trinity River. Large cut bait, such as shad or carp, is the bait of choice for targeting these big blues. Heavy tackle is essential, as these fish can put up a serious fight. There are several access points along the Trinity River, but be sure to check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and bait restrictions. Night fishing can also be very productive for blue catfish.
