I have spent 30 years looking for such a place. It does not exist on public land.

Several of the private lakes have large sunfish, but they are expensive or are not open to the public.

That is a serious bummer! What private lakes around here have them?

All I would suggest is to get off the beaten path, find places that don't get much pressure.

There is great reward in doing some exploring and then having it pay off with a banner day of catching.

That said, cooler weather makes the sunnies harder to catch

Plus #1. Totally agree! thumb


Side Note: Fish are active right now looking for food. hooked Once the colder weather sets in the sunfish bite will really slow down. yawn
