Channel Catfish
Lometa, Texas, offers solid channel catfish opportunities, primarily in its stock tanks and the Lampasas River. While not a trophy catfish destination, you can consistently catch good eating-sized fish. Focus on areas with structure like submerged logs or rocky bottoms. Spring and summer are the best times, especially after a good rain when the catfish are actively feeding. Stinkbaits, cut bait (shad or sunfish), and nightcrawlers are all effective. For river fishing, try drifting your bait along the bottom in deeper holes. A practical tip: Many of the stock tanks are on private land, so always secure permission before fishing. Also, be mindful of snakes near the water's edge, especially during warmer months.
