RES are easiest to catch during the spawn...after they leave their beds they can be more difficult to target. However, sometimes RES will spawn throughout the Summer, like they did last year for me, so take that into consideration. MSC is right on regarding angling tactics - they are more benthic in feeding behavior [see terminal mouth] and a light jig/crawler is down deep or on bottom is reliable angling method.
