I will be making my annual trip to Ky lake a little later that usual this year do to work restraints. Were going to be there at the end of April. We always catch a few redears (by accident)when we're there and I thought this year I may give them a try for a portion of my trip.

My question is, what kind of habitat am I looking for when fishing for redear? Also, what kind of bait should I be using?

We usually camp at Hillman Ferry (hopefully they get it open by then) so we're on the north end of the lake, if that matters.

thanks in advance
