Bluegill
If you're looking for some relaxed bluegill action near Bertram, Texas, you're in luck. The area's numerous small ponds and stock tanks, often found on private land (always ask permission first!), offer excellent opportunities for panfish. Lake Buchanan, while larger and known for other species, also holds good populations of bluegill, especially around submerged vegetation and docks. Spring and early summer, particularly during the spawn, are prime times. Look for shallow, protected areas with visible beds. A simple bobber and worm rig is hard to beat, but small jigs and insect imitations also work well. Local tip: the smaller, less-pressured ponds often hold surprisingly large bluegill; don't overlook them! Be mindful of the Texas sun – bring plenty of water and sun protection, as shade can be scarce around these smaller water bodies. Bluegill in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different baits until you find what they're hitting.
