Channel Catfish
For some great channel catfish angling, head to Belton Lake near Morgan's Point Resort. This reservoir is known for its healthy population of channel cats, providing ample opportunities for both novice and experienced anglers. The warmer months, from late spring through summer, are prime time for targeting these whiskered fish. Focus on areas with submerged structure, such as fallen trees, rocky ledges, and creek channels. Night fishing can be particularly productive during the hotter months. A useful local tactic is to use stink baits or cut bait fished on a Carolina rig near the bottom. Several public access points around the lake offer good bank fishing opportunities, including the area near the dam. Boat ramps are also readily available. Belton Lake's channel catfish are known for their good size and willingness to bite, making it a rewarding destination for catfishing enthusiasts.
