Bluegill
For some relaxed bluegill fishing near Elmendorf, Texas, consider exploring the smaller ponds and creeks that feed into the larger lakes like Calaveras and Braunig. These often-overlooked spots can hold surprisingly large populations of bluegill. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are prime times to target these panfish. Look for shallow, weedy areas where they build their nests. A simple setup with a small hook, bobber, and live worms or crickets is all you need. A local trick is to chum the water with a bit of bread or corn to attract the bluegill to your fishing spot. Access to these smaller waterways may require some exploration, but the reward of a stringer full of bluegill is well worth the effort. The bluegill in this area are generally healthy and eager to bite, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience for anglers of all ages.
