Depends on how you define "deep." 20 to 25 feet is not unheard of for redear. I catch them at many depths, 10-20' is normal here in SC. The biggest ones come out of 10 to 15 feet. Depends on the season and where the forage is, as much as anything.

<p>I feel like the biggest red ears that i've caught have been in relatively shallow water, they were about nine inches long and were in anywhere between 2-4 feet of water, and they were caught out of a couple ponds.</p>

<p>That's a good point Jeff, I've always had my best luck between 8-13ft of water, always on bottom with lively redworms. In the late summer and throughout the fall, we've knocked the fire out of them in 11-13 ft of water. I have heard people say that redear go into very deep water in some lakes during the winter, I'm talking 30-40 feet of water but I've never caught any at those depths. If you're fishing flats, creek channels in the mouths of bays, or slight variations on the bottom, you'll…</p>

Redear fishing is very difficult and it's a major challenge to catch a large amount to take home and clean...I guess it's why I always fish for them, the challenge is unique and the payoff is intoxicating.</p> The redears i've caught seem…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2013-02-04:2036984:Comment:3490842013-02-04T15:07:28.721ZJason Preslarhttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/jasonpreslar
