Channel Catfish
Frankston, Texas, offers some excellent channel catfish opportunities, primarily in Lake Palestine. This large reservoir is known for its healthy catfish population. Focus your efforts on the main lake points, submerged timber, and creek channels. Catfish are opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits will work, including stinkbaits, cut bait, and live worms. Summer nights are particularly productive as the catfish become more active in the cooler temperatures. Consider fishing near the Neches River channel within the lake. A practical tip: Use a slip sinker rig to keep your bait on the bottom, where the catfish are most likely feeding. Also, be mindful of boat traffic, especially on weekends. Lake Palestine has numerous boat ramps, providing easy access from various points around the lake.
