Local Species Insights: Channel Catfish
Channel catfish thrive in Trinity River's flowing waters, feeding actively on crawfish, shad, and other natural forage. These fish use their keen sense of smell to locate bait, making scent-based baits like chicken liver and stink baits highly effective. During warmer months, catfish move to deeper pools and structure during the day, becoming more active in shallow feeding areas at dawn and dusk. Milton's knowledge of seasonal patterns and productive structures helps guests connect with quality channel cats throughout the fishing season.
