How to catch redears

[livemusic]

Is it allowed to ask about another species? Wondering how people catch redears. That is what we call them. A bream-like fish. It's longer and not as round as a bluegill. They can grow pretty big! I have caught them on live worms. Seems I have heard of people using small crawfish. But wonder about artificials, too.

We have an entire forum devoted to them:

Use a 1/64 or 1/32oz black or brown jig with Crappie nibbles or Gewbers bought from crappie.com store

Just search Eagle1 and Alphahawk and read on. Great info on the panfish forum as well.

Red worms on the bottom with sinker and No cork but pay close attention if you want to keep your rod & reel. They like to take them home too. lol
Oh, take plenty of hooks!
