Catfish on Texas Rig? - 05/15/20 07:22 PM
Very new to fishing for LMB in Texas. Took my 10 year old daughter to Bethany Lakes Park today with no luck. We then hit a little park pond on the way home just for kicks. She was throwing a little pink spinner bait with no luck and I was throwing a Texas rigged dark purple worm. Just as I was thinking it was time to go, I hooked up. Would have been my first LMB in Texas... but no... I get it to the bank and this catfish is looking up at me.
Still fun, but I had no idea a cat fish would hit a worm. Last catfish I caught were on chicken liver and sitting on the bottom of a huge lake.
Is this a common occurrence?
Also wondering if I'm wasting our time at Bethany Lakes or if there's better places in the Allen/Plano area?
