This is why I target Sunfish. Chasing fish with colors that I have never seen before. Each drainage has their own unique features. Winter in my rearview mirror and Sunnies holding shallow, good times are back!

Thanks Curtis and eyeball for the replies. Curtis: I have only seen a few Rios on nest. Their spawn should be in full swing in another week or so. Sunfish spawn is in full spawn mode. Been seeing a lot of sunfish on nest.

Thanks Gitter for the reply. The Longear by far has the best colors. Spring spawn is usually the most colorful time for the sunfish. They also show some nice colors during the summer and summer spawn. Winter time the colors seem to fade especially if the fish have been in deeper water!

Thanks for the information Chuck. It seems to me that late March through April along with the month of October are the most colorful months for the sunfish.
