Teague, Texas, provides ample opportunity to tangle with channel catfish in its freshwater bodies. Lake Teague is a solid starting point, but don't overlook the smaller creeks and ponds scattered throughout the area. Catfish are opportunistic feeders and readily take a variety of baits. Classic choices like stink bait, chicken liver, or nightcrawlers are always productive. Summer evenings are especially good, as the catfish become more active in the cooler hours. A local tip is to pre-bait your fishing spot a day or two in advance to attract more fish. Be aware of local vegetation; thick cover can make landing larger catfish a challenge. The catfish population here is healthy, with potential for some sizable catches.
