Catfish
If you're after catfish near Killeen, Texas, Belton Lake is a worthwhile destination. This reservoir offers a mix of channel, blue, and flathead catfish. Summer is the peak season, with warm water triggering increased feeding activity. Focus on areas with deep water access, such as creek channels, main lake points, and submerged timber. Stinkbaits, cut bait (shad or sunfish), and live bait are all effective choices. A practical tip: Belton Lake can be windy, so be prepared for potentially choppy conditions. A drift sock can be helpful for controlling your boat in windy conditions while drifting baits. Also, consider fishing at night, as catfish tend to be more active under the cover of darkness. Public boat ramps are available around the lake, but check for any closures or restrictions before heading out.
