Green Sunfish
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, may be better known for its bayou fishing, but its green sunfish opportunities are abundant and easily accessible. The many ponds, canals, and slow-moving creeks throughout the city and surrounding areas hold healthy populations of these scrappy panfish. Prime time is during the warmer months, especially spring and early summer when they are spawning. Target areas with plenty of vegetation, such as lily pads, reeds, and submerged brush. A simple setup of a worm and bobber is highly effective. Small spinners or jigs can also be productive. A local tip: the BREC parks throughout Baton Rouge often have ponds stocked with sunfish, providing convenient access for anglers of all ages. The green sunfish in this region are often quite aggressive, offering exciting action even for experienced anglers. Be sure to check local regulations regarding creel limits and licenses before heading out.
