If it is a RES..............

Shorty had an old thread dedicated to fishing methods of catching RES. I thought I had it in my watch list but it is not there. It should be somewhere in this list though.

RES information and links to old RES threads

Crickets as I recall on a small hook or jig head. He also makes some small jigs out of plastic worm material that is about the size of a cricket.

I have always had best luck fishing for them just before dusk into dusk. They seem to come out in the subdued light to feed just before dark.

I doubt if a tilapia would pass up a cricket either.

A casting bubble (also thanks to shorty for the idea) can work to cast into an open hole in weeds yet let the hook drop to close to the bottom.
