My good buddy and I went to a neighborhood lake in town that holds a variety of sunfish, bass, and crappie.
Bottom content is relatively gravelly with a bit of vegetation. This lake doesn't get too much pressure since it is private for the property owners in the neighborhood. The sunnies and bass grow very large.
We caught most of these on a drop shot rig with redworms, cast out into about 6' of water and let sit, almost like catfishing. A few were caught on a small jig with redworm on it dropped off the dock.
Big fish of the trip, and my personal best, was this redear that measured at just over 10" I thought i had a bass on, the way he fought. I estimated him at about a pound, give or take.
I edited the picture of the big fish in my photoshop class that i'm taking. Not too bad for a first try, I'd think
