SUNFISH Noob

[Druu]

FYI. Bass -(LMB and SMB) are classified under sunfish. There not true Bass. Large sunfish, but still sunfish.

family centriarchidae or something. (yeah the spelling is totally wrong but im pretty sure it begins with "cent")

If you end up using live, use quill bobbers. They work great for monster, easily spooked, 'gills.

For artificial, a fly rod with an assortment of flies is for sure the best way to go.

LOL a can of whole kernel Corn always worked for me when I was kid. less than a buck and you can fish all day long.

yea sunnies aka bluegills, crappie, shellcracker are easily caught on live bait or "real" baits. but i like a challenge, fly rod would be ideal, but i'll stick with some roadrunners, small sunfish tubes, and small worms around 2".

small spinners are good. also try small plugs. sunfish r not picky... just cast and real relatively fast and theyll hit out of curiosity. dont bother jiggin or anything... just straight realing it in.

My favourite way to catch sunfish is on fly, use little popper flies (chug bugs) they loooove those...

The sunfish around here love a little pink jug head with a little piece of earthworm it works great.
