Bluegill
If you're looking for some classic Texas bluegill action, New Braunfels offers several productive freshwater spots. The Guadalupe River, especially the calmer sections below Canyon Lake, is a prime location. The Comal River, known for its clear, spring-fed waters, also holds good numbers of bluegill, although access can be more challenging due to its popularity with tubers. Spring and early summer are generally the best times, as the fish are spawning and actively feeding. Look for them in shallow, weedy areas or near submerged structure. For Guadalupe access, try the public parks along the river, but be mindful of heavy recreational use, especially on weekends. A simple setup with a bobber, small hook, and live worms or crickets is incredibly effective. The bluegill in this area aren't particularly large, averaging 6-8 inches, but their abundance makes for a fun and rewarding trip, especially for families and beginner anglers.
