When I Fish For Green Sunfish, I Like To Use A Small Crankbait Made By: Michael's Outdoors Lures and Accessories" Bought From Wal-mart. It's Called A Little Bitty Crank Bait. Color:Firetiger Size: 1" With 2 Small Red Treble Hooks. And Is Also Good For Small Bass And Bluegill

When fishing for these and all other bream, I use a bobber, split shot, and, of course, a hook. I like to bring the hook below the float far enough so that it rests on the bottom of the creek or wherever I'm fishing. The split shot goes right below the bobber.

I find that these fish prefer eating off of the bottom and are easy to catch this way.

I know how it is when you can't slip on a T-shirt and walk outside early in the morning. Its winter. You might think bream fishing is over for the year right after late summer, early fall. You thought wrong. In the summer you could tie on a popper or dry fly and constantly reel sunfish to where it gets boring. I live in South Carolina to where it gets down to 30 degrees during winter. Thats when I tie on a small Caddis Fly. Caddis Flies are killers for trout and sunfish in the winter. You simply let it sit until it touches bottom. Slowly raise the tip of your fly rod until the fly bearly tips the water. If you get no strikes, try again. If you try this during winter months, your panfish, bass catching rate will rocket.

In the summer you can throw just about anything to catch panfish. I prefer using a small "Miss Prissy".

My technique is to cast it, let it sit, twitch it, let it sit constantly over and over until a strike. At Landsford Canal stream, I caught nearly 100 panfish. One of them was almost 2.5 pounds.

Happy and Productive
Fishing! Fishman

pop the head off of a mealworm thread the hook through and use a bobber, fly-line it, or use a small jig head.
