besides a crappie, redear are my favorite fish to chase. i hammer em pretty good in late April thru May and maybe a little in june. but i cant find em, at least in any kind of concentration. later in the summer and fall. i basically go after em two ways one is slow reeling a trout magnet the other is some kind of tiny dark brown or orange bait on a 8-10 inch dropshot rig just dragging it across the bottom. i know these things gotta eat year round but i cant do much with em except the spawn. any ideas.
