Channel Catfish
If you're after whiskered giants, Brenham and the surrounding area offer some excellent channel catfish action. Lake Somerville is a popular choice, but don't discount the smaller lakes and rivers. The Brazos River, while a bit of a drive, is renowned for its catfish. Summer is arguably the best time, with the catfish actively feeding in the warmer water. Stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all effective. Target deeper holes, especially near structure or current breaks. A local tip: Many anglers have success fishing at night under submersible lights. Be sure to check local regulations regarding trotlines and juglines. The catfish in this region are generally healthy and plentiful, providing a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
