Seasonal Activity Chart
Bluegill
For slab-sized bluegill action near Huntsville, Texas, focus your efforts on the abundant vegetation in Lake Livingston and smaller ponds dotting the landscape. Spring, as the water warms, sees bluegill move into the shallows to spawn, making them readily accessible. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime times. During the heat of summer, they'll retreat to deeper, cooler water around submerged structure. A simple Texas rig with a cricket or worm is tough to beat, but don't overlook small poppers or dry flies for some exciting surface action. Access to Lake Livingston is plentiful via public boat ramps, but explore smaller community lakes for less pressured fish. Remember, bluegill are sensitive to changes in water clarity, so adjust your presentation accordingly – lighter line and smaller hooks in clear water.
