Bluegill
Briarcliff, Texas, on the shores of Lake Travis, presents ample opportunities for bluegill fishing. While not as heavily targeted as other species, the lake's coves and backwaters teem with these feisty panfish. Spring and summer are ideal, as bluegill are actively spawning and feeding. Target shallow, weedy areas with crickets, worms, or small jigs under a bobber. Docks and submerged timber also hold good numbers of bluegill. For bank anglers, Pace Bend Park offers several access points with good shoreline fishing. The bluegill in Lake Travis are known for their aggressive strikes, making them a fun target for anglers of all ages. A local tip: try fishing around boat docks early in the morning or late in the evening for the best results. Don't be surprised if you also hook into a few sunfish or small bass while you're at it.
