I winter on Griffin, and the one big thing I noticed is the best time for those Red Ears is right before dark. So you are on the right track fishing after six o'clock, but do fish till dark, you'll get the bigger fish at that time, at least from my experience. Cute girls, have three of my own, or should I say had, they're all grown up now. But I think I still have life jackets just like those in the garage! I wear them all the time! lol
