    Catfish Ponds

    Are there any catfish ponds near Houston that are still open? the ones i used to go to as a kid are now closed. I'd like to take my son to one soon.

    thanks

      In a few weeks the Texas Parks and Wildlife will start stocking Mary Jo Peckham every other week with catchable catfish, 12- 14 inches.

            These city parks that get stocked are THE way to do it with kids, especially. There's a park pond in Southlake that gets stocked regularly with channel cats. I can sit there and catch keeper sized ones all day. Tons of fun.

              what are the rules at the city parks, are you supposed to release everything you catch?

                  here's some info on the program that i just found.

                  Try family-friendly city fishing from a pier or bank. Visit small stocked lakes close to home. Catch catfish big enough to keep. Kids under 17 fish free.

                    Beat me to it.

                    Check out the list of sites on the link. I think we have 14 lakes across the state in this program now. There may be one close to you Oh, you can keep the fish. Up to five a day per person. These lakes are stocked almost year round. Catfish through most of the year and trout in winter.

                    Hi Reese, haven't seen you around here in a while.

                          Bayou

                          If you're just trying to get him fishing, just take him down to your local bayou with a loaf of bread and some light tackle. The brim in our local bayou's (at least the Houston area) are as thick as fleas. Just throw a piece of bread in and let it soak for a couple minutes, then cast a small hook with some split shot and a lump of white bread. My son caught his first fish when he was three that way.
