I skipped over the fact that he was only 3. You're right - bluegills are probably the way to go. Los Carneros has them. Don't know about bait but they'll go for tiny spoons and small spinners.

One of the problems with bluegill fishing and Los Carneros is every year there is a huge bass spawn (not sure where all the bass end up going - most of them probably end up being food for their parents). From early June on there are millions of 2 - 4 inch bass everywhere. They can get annoying.
