Channel Catfish
Mount Enterprise, Texas, provides some excellent opportunities to tangle with channel catfish. Lake Murvaul is again a key location, holding a healthy population of channel cats. These fish thrive in the lake's diverse structure, from submerged timber to rocky points. While catfish can be caught year-round, the warmer months, particularly late spring and summer, are typically the most productive. After a good rain, when the water is slightly stained, is an especially good time to fish. For bank anglers, try fishing around the numerous coves and inlets with cut bait or nightcrawlers. Boaters should focus on deeper areas near the old creek channels. A local tip: many anglers have success using jugs baited with sour grain in the upper sections of the lake.
