Green Sunfish
Tyler, Texas, provides a wealth of options for anglers interested in green sunfish, often overshadowed by the area's larger gamefish. The many small lakes and ponds scattered throughout the region, including those within city parks and wildlife management areas, are teeming with these panfish. Spring and fall are particularly productive, as the fish are active and the weather is pleasant. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, such as fallen trees, docks, and vegetation. A simple worm and bobber rig is a classic and effective method. Small spinners and jigs can also entice strikes. A local's secret: Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine have smaller connecting creeks and coves that hold good populations of green sunfish, often overlooked by bass anglers. The green sunfish around Tyler are known for their vibrant colors and willingness to bite, making them a great target for beginner anglers and those looking for a relaxing day on the water.
