Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish in the McMullen area, explore the local creeks and rivers. While not known for trophy-sized cats, these waters can provide consistent action, especially during the warmer months. Summer and early fall (June-October) are prime times to target channel catfish, as they are most active during this period. Focus on areas with structure, such as fallen trees, undercut banks, and rock piles. A simple bait rig with stink bait, nightcrawlers, or cut bait is effective. Local tip: Fish near bridge pilings or culverts, as catfish often congregate around these structures. The catfish in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different baits to see what they're biting on. Be patient and persistent, and you're likely to have some success. Consider fishing at night for the best results.
