Channel catfish are a readily available target for anglers fishing in and around Combes, Texas. Focus on the local resacas and drainage ditches that hold water year-round; these often overlooked spots can be surprisingly productive. Bait fishing is the name of the game here. Use stink baits, cut bait, or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom. Summer nights are particularly good, as the catfish become more active in the cooler temperatures. A good access point is often at bridge crossings where you can legally park and fish the adjacent waterways. Be mindful of private property and always ask for permission before venturing onto private land. The catfish in this area tend to be on the smaller side, perfect for a family fish fry.
