Bluegill
The bayous and backwaters around Baton Rouge offer ample opportunities to hook into some hefty bluegill. Focus on areas with plenty of cover – think cypress knees, lily pads, and submerged vegetation. The Amite River Diversion Canal and False River are known hotspots. Spring is prime time, as the fish move shallow to spawn. A simple cane pole with a cricket is hard to beat during this period. As summer progresses, bluegill will seek deeper, cooler waters. Try fishing around submerged structure with small jigs or worm pieces. A key local tip: the water clarity can vary significantly depending on rainfall, so be prepared to adjust your presentation accordingly. Darker water often calls for brighter lures or baits. Access to many of these spots is by boat, but there are also several bank fishing opportunities along the Diversion Canal.
