Sunfish...Oh Yeah, the go-to fish that is always biting

I catch 99.95% of all mine on a 2 wt fly rod with a self tied insect i call the "Bluegill Killer". Looks kinda like a bumble bee with legs and is a sure thing for the sunnies. Really does not matter the body of water, they are in all of them and usually very hungry

I usually target larger species, but when the going gets tough, the tough go sunny fishing.

D&R canal. tons of redbreasts in the shallows in the summer. you can catch them non stop on tiny inline spinners or trout magnets. Also the south branch raritan river

The first time you catch a nice 7-8 inch bluegill on ultra light outfit you'll be hooked for life. I fished for numerous freshwater and saltwater species, including huge bluefish, carp, catfish, but nothing is more relaxing than fishing for sunfish on some tiny pond or stream. For me fishing is about relaxation and having fun and sunfish are the perfect species.
