Lake Buchanan Blue Catfish: Half-Day Trip Yields 11-Inch Catch

One for the books today! I took Ethan out on Lake Buchanan for a half-day fishing adventure with Reel Texas Fishing Tours. We set out in the early morning, launching from Buchanan Dam, TX under partly cloudy skies. The summer weather was perfect for a day on the water. Lake Buchanan was looking good, and I was eager to show Ethan some of the best spots Reel Texas Fishing Tours has to offer.

With our gear rigged and ready, we started off trolling around some promising areas. I always like to mix things up, so we alternated between crankbait fishing and using live bait. Lake Buchanan can be a bit tricky, but that's what makes it such a great challenge for anglers. We focused on areas where I've had luck before, working the structure and drop-offs that often hold fish this time of year.

Our persistence paid off when Ethan hooked into a nice Blue Catfish. It put up a good fight, and when we got it in the boat, it measured 11 inches - not bad at all for Lake Buchanan! While we didn't land any monsters, the steady action kept us engaged throughout the morning. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having enjoyed a productive day on the water.
