Channel Catfish
Looking to hook into some channel catfish around Ganado? Lake Texana provides a reliable fishery. While not as massive as the blue cats, the channel catfish population is abundant, and they offer consistent action. Focus on areas with structure, such as submerged timber, creek channels, and rocky points. Stink baits, nightcrawlers, and cut bait are all effective choices. Fishing near the FM 111 bridge can be productive. Evenings and nights are often the best times to fish, especially during the warmer months. A medium-heavy rod and reel combo will be sufficient for most channel cats you'll encounter. Remember to check the latest fishing regulations regarding size and bag limits. Lake Texana's channel cats are a great option for both experienced and novice anglers seeking consistent action.
