Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish near Morgan, Texas, Lake Whitney is your best bet. This lake offers excellent catfish opportunities year-round, but the warmer months of summer and early fall are particularly productive. Focus on areas with submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels. Cut bait, stink bait, and live bait are all effective choices. Fishing near the bottom is key. For bank fishing, try areas around the state park or below the Whitney Dam, where current can concentrate catfish. A Texas Parks and Wildlife fishing license is required. Many anglers use slip sinker rigs to keep their bait on the bottom while allowing the catfish to run with the bait. The channel catfish in Lake Whitney are known to reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
