Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for blue catfish in Texas as well as river fishing, inshore fishing, and jetty fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Texas are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and bottom fishing but live bait fishing and cut bait fishing are popular as well.

How much does a Texas blue catfish fishing trip cost?

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for blue catfish fishing in Texas?

The most popular season for blue catfish fishing in Texas is spring, and most anglers book their trips 40 days in advance.

    Trip: Freshwater Redfish In San Antonio

    We had a great time going out with Richard. The weather was not in favor of fishing. There was absolutely No wind. The lake was like glass. And the fish don’t bite when it’s like that. But that didn’t stop Richard from trying to get us on some hybrids. We finally resolved to catching catfish which we love. I highly recommend Richard. Great personality and very knowledgeable. He taught us some stuff we can use going forward. Thanks Richard for a wonderful outing.

    Outstanding trip! Shane went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the opportunity to get on fish, and he was constantly jumping into action whenever needed. He has a genuine heart for service and is incredibly passionate about what he does. It truly doesn’t get any better than this! Thank you so much, Shane! We had an amazing time and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

    If you are looking to book a charter, do not hesitate—book immediately! From the moment we stepped on board, it was clear we were in the hands of a seasoned professional who knows these waters like the back of his hand. Captain Raymond is highly knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled at finding the active bite. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone on our boat had an unforgettable, action-packed day.
