What is the general method during spawn, prespawn and postspawn in catching redear? I have never specifically fished for them. I just need some info on how you guys catch them this time of the year. How deep? What bait or lures? Float? etc.
Thanks,
Bassky;)
When they are on the spawning beds in shallow water, I fish for them basically like fishing for bluegills ( bobber and worms). The red ears seem to prefer red worms over other baits. I catch them a year long fishing on the bottom with out a bobber in deep water adjacent or very close to their known spawning areas. Even when they are on the beds it seems like I catch the bigger ones bottom fishing further out from the beds.
g3 knows his red ears. worms on the bottom.

I will need to give this a try this year. Never tried bottom fishing for them after the spawn.
