Channel catfish fishing around Bedias, Texas, is a worthwhile pursuit, especially if you're looking for a relaxing day on the water. The Navasota River and its tributaries offer good habitat for catfish. Spring and Summer are the best times to target them, with the warmer water temperatures increasing their activity. Night fishing is particularly productive. A simple slip sinker rig with stink bait, nightcrawlers, or cut bait works well. A local tip is to target areas with submerged timber or rocky bottoms, as these provide cover for the catfish. Be aware of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate depending on rainfall. While the catfish in this area may not reach record sizes, they are plentiful and provide a consistent bite. Public access to the river can be found at bridge crossings and some designated access points, but always check for signage and regulations.
