Seasonal Activity Chart
Catfish
If you're after catfish near Tyler, Texas, you're in luck! Lake Palestine and Lake Tyler are teeming with them. Channel, blue, and flathead catfish are all present. Summer nights are prime time, but good fishing can be had year-round. For channel and blue catfish, try using stink baits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers near creek channels and submerged timber. For flatheads, live bait such as bream or shad is the ticket, fished near deep structure. Trotlines and juglines are popular methods, but be sure to check local regulations regarding their use. A local tip: the deeper holes near the dam on Lake Palestine can hold some real monster catfish. Be prepared for a fight! Remember to handle catfish carefully to avoid being finned.
