Had real good luck on good size blue gill as i brought home 81 of them but only caught one redear. I guess the place i choose to go to wasn't good place for redear or it may have been just me trying to find them.

I was always told that if you were catching bedding Bluegill, you were probably sitting over top of the bedding Shellcrackers (Redear spawn/feed in deeper water than a Bluegill)

I know the Redear I caught last week on Ky Lake were all in deeper than 6 ft except 2 and those were in the flooded trees back of Big Bear, and they were the smallest ones we caught all week.
