Greetings Ballatoncka from USA. There are several sub species of what are commonly called sun fish or pumpkinseeds and blue gills. In Vermont we fish for them year round primarily for their table fare. Around here you will get them up to 1 pound in weight but in the southern part of the US they grow quite a bit larger due to a longer growing season. I am about to go ice fishing for them in about an hour. They are very prolific and we usually catch buckets of them. Fishing for them with ulta lite tackle is the best.
