Panfish
There are many fish included in the panfish species. Only a few are illustrated here. Some illustrated here are the redear sunfish, banded sunfish, bluegill, black crappy, pumpkin seed, green sunfish, rock bass, black sunfish, blue sunfish, and white crappy.
Many of these panfish are beautifully colored and patterned. The smaller members are panshaped, which is how they get their name. Though many you may catch are not very big, some panfish such as the rock bass, crappies, can get quite large, even as large as 12 inches in length.
Angling tips vary from popping bugs on the surface (especially for bluegill) bottom bouncing jigs (for crappies)
Though panfish may not be very big, are a load of fun to catch. Personal experiance has showed me that you can catch hundreds daily with a simple worm/ nightcrawler and using a bobber.
You can find panfish in large schools, usually near the edges in shallow waters and cattails and weeds. That is not to say you won't find them in deep waters also.
