Hmm, I like the RES info above, but the only problem is that when I start having kids and they want to fish, the only thing that they are going to be able to catch with any regularity will be the perch. My experience with YP was that the small ones will hit anything pretty much year round, haven't really caught one in my life over about 10 inches. The RES from that article were all stocked in larger lakes, but they mentioned many times that they are much more difficult to catch than the usual panfish. How "difficult" are they to catch really, will my kids be able to toss a bobber and worm out and catch them with ease/regularity? I personally will want to go after the WE/SMB/HSB and the large YP, the panfish would be more for forage and for the kids to catch (thus the GSF idea). Any thoughts? What is your guys experience with catching RES?
