Thanks for sharing.



You might try fishing with a slip bobber in a lot deeper water than you'd think....do you have any structure in 5-8 feet of water? We had a good population of RES in our pond down home for many years and the ONLY way to catch them most of the time was to get deeper. All the other sunfish species would be in 1-4 feet depth and the RES would be twice that, and would NOT come up to feed. Period.
