Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target near Sachse, and Lake Lavon offers plenty of opportunities to hook into them. Unlike their flathead cousins, channel cats are more opportunistic feeders and can be caught using a variety of baits, including stinkbaits, cut bait, and nightcrawlers. Focus on areas with structure, such as submerged timber, rocky points, and creek channels. Spring and summer are generally the best times to fish for them, but they can be caught year-round. Bank fishing is possible at several locations around the lake, or you can launch a boat for more access. Look for areas with moving water, as this tends to concentrate the fish. Don't be afraid to experiment with different baits and depths to find what's working best on any given day.
