Channel Catfish
If you're heading to Beeville, Texas, with catfish on your mind, you're in for a treat, especially if channel cats are your target. The local lakes and rivers, particularly Lake Corpus Christi, are known for holding good numbers of these whiskered fish. Spring and early summer are prime times, especially after a good rain when the catfish move into shallower water to feed. Baits like stink bait, cut shad, or even nightcrawlers fished on a Carolina rig near submerged structure are your best bet. For bank access, try the areas around Mathis or the public ramps on the Nueces River. A local tip: pay attention to the wind direction. Fishing on the windward side of the lake often concentrates baitfish and, consequently, the catfish. The channel catfish here average a respectable size, with opportunities for fish in the 5-10 pound range, and even larger specimens are occasionally landed.
