Catfish
If you're after catfish near Huntsville, Texas, Lake Livingston is your playground. This massive lake is teeming with channel, blue, and flathead catfish, offering anglers a chance at some truly impressive catches. Summer nights are prime time, as the catfish actively forage in the shallows. Stinkbaits, cut bait, and live bait are all effective, depending on the species you're targeting. For channel cats, focus on areas with current and structure, using stinkbaits or cut shad. Blue catfish often roam deeper waters, so drifting with cut bait can be productive. Flatheads prefer live bait around submerged timber and creek channels. A local tip: the Trinity River channel that runs through the lake is a catfish highway. Be mindful of boating traffic, especially on weekends, and consider launching from the Carolina Creek boat ramp for easy access to the main lake.
