Hunting
Redear
The redear sunfish, also known as the shellcracker, is arguably one of the
best fighting, best tasting, and hardest to find and catch throughout the season than any panfish you pursue. Fishing for redears has become an annual endeavor for me and a time during spring that I look forward to every year. Until the past few springs, I picked up a redear incidentally fishing for bluegills. I only began targeting redears a few years ago. I’ve learned a lot about fishing for redears but have only managed to extend my season by a few weeks. My mission was to find ways to locate and catch redears throughout the entire year and that has not happened. You’ll read below a few bits of redear information that’s very interesting.
Dragonfly Larvae, I believe, is one of the redear’s favorite foods as the water warms
