Channel Catfish
If you're after channel catfish in the Savoy, Texas, area, you'll want to explore the smaller lakes and rivers that dot the landscape. These waterways, often overlooked by other anglers, can be surprisingly productive. The best time to target catfish here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Night fishing is particularly effective, as the catfish become more active under the cover of darkness. Try using stink baits, cut bait, or live worms near submerged logs or rocky areas. A practical tip: the water levels in some of these smaller bodies of water can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall, so check conditions before you head out. You'll find the catfish here are generally healthy and provide a good fight, with some reaching impressive sizes due to the relatively light fishing pressure.
