With most of the actual sunfish species here locally , not many of them have a post spawn until about ....maybe October ?
I am not trying to stir it up , but bluegill and longear and greens in these parts bed off and on thru out the summer months .
i have read post spawn several times from up north to far east and we are in the heat in Texas and a sunfish are spawning like crazy right now .
So it would seem to me either the fish in other areas of the country are much different than the ones here or maybe the fish in those areas are not done spawning ?
just a quick fyi from what we see in our little corner of the country .
carry on ....
