What types of blue catfish fishing trips are common in Texas?

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

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

How much does a Texas blue catfish fishing trip cost?

Prices for blue catfish in Texas can range anywhere from about $350 to $1,485, but the average price for a half day trip for blue catfish in Texas is $527. The average price for a full day trip for blue catfish in Texas is $1,031.

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.

    Brett's a focused guide who works hard to find success. Booking company worked hard to rebook after weather cancelations and other issues caused schedule conflicts. Would prefer to see full balances as paid by running total in an account statement on website.
