Bluegill
If you're looking for some classic bluegill action in South Texas, Donna offers a few under-the-radar freshwater spots. While not known for trophy-sized fish, the resacas (oxbow lakes) and irrigation canals crisscrossing the area hold healthy populations of bluegill, perfect for a relaxing day of fishing. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn. A simple setup with crickets or worms under a bobber is usually all you need. Look for areas with submerged vegetation or overhanging trees, as these provide cover and attract bluegill. Be mindful of private property along the canals; access is often best at bridge crossings or designated public areas. The bluegill here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different baits. Local tip: The resacas near the Donna Reservoir are known to hold some larger bluegill, but be prepared for heavier vegetation.
