<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->The sunfish is often the most sought after fish in the winter. Sunfish are generally easy to catch and they are aggressive feeders even on the coldest winter days. I’m hoping to offer some incite about fishing sunfish that you haven’t read 1000’s times in magazines or other websites. The key to me in finding good-sized sunfish (8-10 inch) is to identify a lake with good sunfish habitat, less fishing pressure and large expanses of deep weeds with a cabbage/coontail mix being the best cover. Deep weeds offer a few advantages for holding big sunfish. Deep weeds offer food sources such as zooplankton and aquatic insects in heavy cover. The heavy cover offers hiding places from predators like pike and bass. Add in the fact that deep weeds offer oxygen levels that support fish life and weed growth and you’ve got yourself a spot. The reason I like large expanses of deep cabbage is they offer more areas to harbor big fish and the large expanses are more difficult for many fisherman to fish effectively. The reason most anglers don’t fish these areas effectively is most are not mobile enough and they are not willing to drill up to 80-100 holes per day. Mobility and holes in the ice are a key advantage to hunting down big sunfish.
