Fishing with Brandon
we had a wonderful time. The staff was so great. We enjoyed our time and definitely would do it again and next time we'll have to try an ice fishing trip. They bent over backwards to take care of us in every way and made sure that our grandsons had a wonderful time. Thank you thank you again. We would definitely advise you to see them and make a trip with him.

Best Birthday gift for Max!
Captain Brian had the boat ready to go and our first cast we caught a bass! He made the morning extra special and spent the majority of the time helping my son with plenty of helpful pointers to land about 23 fiah! Would definitely recommend and book again!

Excellent Guide and Tons of Fish
Fantastic experience! Our guide was fully set up, explained everything well, and made the trip especially fun for our son, who had mostly only fished off the dock before. We fished the full four hours, caught around 50 fish, and had a great variety — bluegill, sunfish, bass, crappie, northern, and walleye. We kept 21 crappies and 7 walleye. Great guide, great guy, and a really fun day on the water. We’d absolutely book with him again!

About Sunfish fishing
Sunfish are a diverse family of freshwater North American fish, mostly round in shape and of interesting colors. They are relatives of the Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, easy to catch and with an excellent taste.
How big
Most Sunfish are quite small, most often caught up to 1 or 2lbs. The Redear and Bluegill are the only ones known to go over 3lbs and are the most popular among anglers.
Distribution
The range of six major Sunfish species is described:
- Redear (Lepomis microlophus) - native to the Gulf coast and southeastern USA up to Indiana and North Carolina. Introduced to the Great Lakes and west.
- Green (Lepomis cyanellus) - native to central and eastern USA, Ontario and northern Mexico. Introduced throughout the USA except for the Northwest and peninsular Florida.
- Redbreast (Lepomis auritus) - native to the east coast of North America from New Brunswick to central Florida, extends west to the Appalachians and the Apalachicola River. Introduced to neighboring states.
- Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) - native to central and eastern USA and northeastern Mexico. Introduced throughout the USA.
- Warmouth (Lepomis gulosus) - native to the Great Lakes and the entire Mississippi River and its tributaries. Introduced to Mexico and Puerto Rico.
- Pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) - native to the east coast of North America from New Brunswick to South Carolina, can be found in central and northwestern USA.
How to catch
Sunfish generally react well to lures and baits alike. Natural bait options include small minnows, shrimp, smoked salmon, worms, grubs, leeches, insects (crickets), bread, bacon, cheese, corn and basicaly anything meaty or fishy. Artificials used include various spinners, jigs and poppers, with flies gaining attention from enthusiasts as well.
Most species have small mouths and very small hooks should be used. A slip-sinker rig is common and bobbers will help suspend the bait at the right depth. These fish are scrappy at best and present an easy angling challenge, excellent for children interested in the sport.
Good to eat?
All species are phenomenal panfish.
