Catfish
If you're looking for Catfish in the Quitman, Texas area, Lake Fork is your destination. This renowned bass lake also holds a healthy population of Channel, Blue, and Flathead Catfish. Spring and early summer, particularly after heavy rains, are excellent times to target them as they move into shallower areas to spawn and feed. Lake Fork offers a variety of catfish habitats, from submerged timber to creek channels and riprap along the dam. Using cut bait, stink bait, or live bait near these structures is a reliable strategy. Night fishing can be particularly productive during the warmer months. A local tip: check lake level reports before you go, as water levels can fluctuate significantly, impacting access and fish location. Be aware of submerged timber and navigate carefully, especially at night.
