Catfishing on Lake Limestone: Tips and Tricks
Lake Limestone is a prime destination for catfish anglers. Whether you're targeting channel catfish, blue catfish, or flatheads, this guide will help you catch more catfish on your next trip.
Best Times to Fish for Catfish:
- Spring and Summer: Catfish are most active during these warmer months, particularly in the evening and at night.
- Fall: Cooler temperatures can also provide good catfishing opportunities, especially during the day.
Top Locations:
- Navasota River Channel: The deeper waters here are home to large blue and flathead catfish.
- Shallow Flats: During the spring, catfish move into shallower areas to spawn, making these locations ideal for catching channel catfish.
Recommended Baits and Techniques:
- Cut Bait: Fresh shad or skipjack works well for larger catfish.
- Stink Bait: A tried-and-true favorite for channel catfish, especially when fished near submerged timber or brush piles.
- Night Fishing: Catfish are more active at night, so consider fishing after sunset with a good headlamp and sturdy rod holders.
