Bluegill
Sulphur Springs, Texas, provides some delightful bluegill fishing, especially for those looking for a relaxing day on the water. Focus your efforts on local ponds, creeks, and the shallows of larger lakes like Lake Sulphur Springs. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are prime times. Look for bedding areas in shallow, protected coves with plenty of vegetation. Small jigs tipped with waxworms or crickets are deadly. Later in the year, bluegill will often relate to deeper structure, such as submerged timber or brush piles. A great tip for Sulphur Springs area bluegill is to try fishing under docks and piers; these areas provide shade and attract insects, making them bluegill magnets. Be aware that some smaller ponds may have limited access, so always check for posted signs or obtain permission from landowners.
