Channel Catfish
Channel catfish are a reliable target around Todd Mission, Texas, thriving in the area's many private ponds and creeks. These fish are relatively easy to catch, making them a great option for anglers of all skill levels. The warmer months, from spring through fall, are ideal for targeting catfish. Bait your hook with chicken liver, nightcrawlers, or stinkbait and fish near the bottom. Look for areas with submerged logs or other structure. Fishing at night can be particularly productive. Remember that most fishing opportunities will be on private land, so gaining permission is essential. A simple rod and reel combo with a heavy sinker is all you need to get started. Be mindful of the spines on the catfish when handling them.
