If your cold while we are fishing or driving across the lake, you will not be enjoying your time with Texas Catfish Guide Service.
  • For Fall and Winter Fishing Trips - Again, Dress in layers, and wear an outer layer that will keep you dry. If it is cool outside and you get wet, you will not enjoy yourself and are likely to get sick, this is especially important during Trophy Blue Catfish Trips because often the weather is very cool.

Trophy Blue Catfish Trips - Trophy Catfish on Rod and Reel

Trophy Catfish on Rod and Reel are caught while catfishing on guided catfishing trips with North Texas Catfish Guide Service all year long but the best times of the year for fishing for Trophy Blue Catfish are November, December, January February and Early March. Blue Catfish (commonly referred to in other parts of the United States as High Fin Blue Catfish, High Fin Blues and Mississippi White Catfish) are the big bruisers of Texas freshwater fishing, and can easily reach well over 100 Lbs.

When fishing for catfish on guided catfish fishing trips with North Texas Catfish Guide Service Blue Catfish in the 20-45 Lb range are very common and we often catch fish in the 40-50 lb range on a regular basis.

Trophy Blue Catfish trips on Cedar Creek Lake and Lake Lewisville are done with Rod and Reel and all catfish over 10 lbs are released alive after photographs. If you would like to have a replica made of your trophy catfish we will take extra photos and take measurements for you before we release the catfish.

Most trophy catfish trips in the late fall and winter during the peak season for these big Texas blue catfish will average about 5 to 7 catfish between twenty and fourty pounds. Please note that this is just an average and we have had many clients catch as many as twenty two blue catfish over 20 pounds in one trip.

We are also happy to announce that this year we have had a 99% success rate on Trophy Blue Catfish for our clients on our North Texas Guided Catfish Fishing trips for Trophy Blue Catfish. On fall and winter Trophy Catfish trips for the 2004-2005 season we only had two customers that did not catch a catfish over 25 lbs, and those two customers caught a 17 lb blue catfish and a 13 lb blue catfish.

Most of our Trophy Blue Catfish trips with North Texas Catfish Guide Service will be done at Lake Lewisville and Cedar Creek Lake.

BLUE CATFISH TRIPS - ROD AND REEL BLUE CATFISH TRIPS

Rod and Reel Blue Catfish trips are available all year long. Blue Catfish is the species of choice for most clients on our North Texas Guided Catfishing Trips. Blue Catfish fight like crazy and are a blast to catch. We will catch catfish of all sizes on our guided fishing trips for catfish but it is very common to catch Trophy Catfish outside of the peak Trophy Catfishing season.

On rod and reel fishing trips for blue catfish we will fish the current pattern and fish with fresh bait or Sure Shot Catfish Punch Bait. These catfish guide trips are good for numbers of fish and most of the catfish will range in size from 2 to 10 pounds on most trips with catfish in the 10-20 lb range being very common.

All catfish over 10 lbs are released but if you choose to keep the fish under 10 pounds on your guided catfish fishing trip your welcome to do so. When the trip is complete we will clean your catfish for you and bag up your catfish fillets at the end of your fishing trip.

The best time of the year for numbers of blue catfish is March through September. With the best months usually being March, April, and May.

Make no mistake, when fishing for blue catfish on guided catfishing trips with North Texas Catfish Guide Service THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDADDY'S CATFISHING. We use some very unique techniques for finding and catching blue catfish and getting them in the boat. If your picturing sitting out in the boat with a big glob of chicken liver or stink bait hanging off the side of the boat waiting for a catfish to come along YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT HOW WE FIND AND CATCH THESE CATFISH!

CHANNEL CATFISH TRIPS - ROD AND REEL CHANNEL CATFISH

Channel Catfish North Texas

AVAILABLE ALL YEAR Channel Catfish Trips are good all year long, Chad does fish baited holes for Channel Catfish at certain times of the year using Sure Shot Catfish Punch Bait, it just depends on the season and the catfish pattern.

Night trips for channel catfish are very enjoyable during the summer and produce lot's of fish as well.

Channel catfish trips often result in limits (25 per person) of channel catfish ranging in size from 1-8 pounds with some blue catfish and occasional bigger catfish mixed in.

JUG FISHING TRIPS FOR CHANNEL CATFISH AND BLUE CATFISH

(SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY)

AVAILABLE ALL YEAR On Jug Fishing trips we will be fishing with flagging juglines and we usually try to fit in some rod and reel fishing as well. If you have never tried jug fishing, these trips are a blast! These trips are good for numbers and size of catfish. We will usually catch a ton of blue catfish and channel catfish on your catfish jugfishing trips and there will be lot's of excitement while fishing with Flagging Catfish Juglines.We highly reccomend these fishing trips for anyone that is wanting to take kids fishing. This is a great way to get kids hooked on fishing because it is constant action and it eliminates the sitting and waiting like rod and reel fishing. Both children and adults love these jug fishing trips, the excitement of watching the jug flag while fishing with the flagging catfish juglines brings a whole new level of excitement to jug fishing and the anticpation of what is on the end of the flagging catfish jugline is really exciting.
