Bluegill
For Bluegill enthusiasts visiting Burton, Texas, the numerous small ponds and stock tanks dotting the countryside are your best bet. While Lake Somerville is nearby, the real bluegill gems are often found in these smaller, less-pressured waters. Spring and early summer are prime times, as bluegill move into shallow water to spawn. Look for bedding areas in protected coves and around submerged vegetation. A simple bobber and worm rig is highly effective, but small jigs and poppers can also produce exciting topwater action. Remember to ask for permission before fishing on private land. A local tip: many of the farm ponds are fed by artesian wells, so the water is typically clear and cool, even during the hot Texas summers. Bring polarized sunglasses to help spot bedding areas and individual fish.
