Seasonal Activity Chart
Bluegill
Monroe, Louisiana, offers some excellent bluegill fishing, particularly in the numerous oxbow lakes and backwaters connected to the Ouachita River. These areas provide the ideal habitat for these panfish, with plenty of vegetation and structure. Spring is prime time, as the bluegill move into the shallows to spawn. Look for bedding areas in quiet coves and around lily pads. A simple bobber and worm rig is tough to beat, but small jigs and crickets also work well. As the water warms in the summer, focus on deeper water near submerged timber or weed lines. The bluegill in this region can be surprisingly large, so don't be afraid to use slightly heavier line than you might expect. A local tip: access to many of these honey holes is best by boat, and several public boat ramps are available along the Ouachita. Pay attention to water clarity, as stained water can concentrate the fish.
