Fort Worth Fishing Guide Report November 11, 2022

The October and early November fishing here in Fort Worth was yet again nothing short of amazing.

01The bite

Quality Off the Charts.

We're catching excellent numbers of blue and channel catfish and have some big trophy blue catfish showing up as well. Over the past week, the quality of the fish has been off the charts for both blue and channel catfish, and fishing remains excellent.

As long as the wind blows a little, the bite is awesome (which is typical, catfish like the wind). We offer guided trips on a number of DFW lakes, but right now we're fishing Eagle Mountain Lake in Fort Worth.

02Cold front

Turning Toward Trophy Blues.

With the big cold front arriving today and a strong north wind, water temperatures should drop really quickly. I'll start turning my attention next week to scouting for trophy blue catfish.

I'll still offer trips all fall and winter to catch numbers of fish (fast action), but if you want to hook into a MONSTER trophy-class catfish, December through February is the time to do it!

Warm and Dry in the Enclosure

I've got a full enclosure on my 26′ SeaArk Pro Guide, so when it's really cold I'll snap the enclosure on, fire up the heater, and we'll stay nice and warm while we chase monster catfish (as long as the wind isn't too high). It also keeps us dry, so if there's a little inclement weather we can usually work around it.
