Thanks guys for the informative post..

Dopwn here where I fish there is a 10 inch limit on crappie..and 2 pounders are not unheard of..11 - 15 inchers are common..

We don't have the pumpkinseed variety..wished we did..I used to live in MD..they are very good.We have one crystal clear lake and the fish from there are VERY good eatting..

Our FL sunfish species are

Bluegill/brime
Red earred sunfish/sheel crackers
Green sunfish/stump knockers
Redbreasted sunfish
warmouth

That is it..our 2 most common..bluegills and red earred.I LOVE CATCHING RED EARS..in our one clear lake they taste like fresh rainbows..honestly..

OH!!!!!Must share an easy way to raise red worms if you have no space..been raising them for a year..they are doing well.

A. Buy a plastic rubber maid box from Walmart...14 " X 20" bu 7 inches deep in which the lid closes firmly.
B. Fill with nothing but peat moss..
C. Put in a few cups of red worms..
D. sprinkle corn meal inside of peat moss.DO NOT LAY ON TOP..draws fruit flies.
E. Dampen peat moss with water..I have not added water in 6 months..the worms are multiplying.
F. before closing lid..put a piece of burlap bag on top..When the food runs out the worms will eat the bag.

IF you happen to draw flies in your soil..Fill a small bowl 1/2 way with vinegar and 1 tablespoon of dishliquid detergent..Your flies will be dead within a week..every one.
