Kentucky Lake Redear Sunfish: Fishing for Redear Sunfish
Kentucky Lake has a stable population of redear sunfish with enough fish in the 8 to 12 inch range that work it worth targeting them. Panfishermen usually catch them on accident while fishing for bluegill or crappie. Spring through early summer is typically best. Redears will spawn a little deeper than bluegill, but they’ll be the similar areas. Just make sure to fish a few feet deeper than you do for bluegill in the spring and you should be able to catch some of these fish. Redear sunfish also feed primarily on the bottom, so keep your baits near the bottom. Bobber rigs will work, but you may want to set them a little bit deeper.
