No problem on the fact sheet Jason....The interesting thing to me is the fact that they mentioned catching Redbreast Sunfish at night and I use to have a lot of fun on the lower Edisto River down in South Carolina doing just that.....I would throw a dark colored beetle spin tipped with a cricket and catch some great redbreasts at night.....It was a great way to beat the brutal summertime heat of the Low Country provided you could find enough mosquito repellent......The best Redbreast waters in the Northeast portion of the state is the Tar River....they're some nice ones in there.....

Chris, thanks again for the redbreast pic!! Good to know you've got a nice population for you to take advantage of!

Thanks for the fact sheet Jeffrey! I'm looking forward to getting in the rivers and wading for smallies and redbreasts. They come hand in hand in the smaller rivers here!

Welcome to the site Chris! Do you come across the redbreast often? We love pics!! I'm looking forward to your input here!
Comment by Jason Preslar on March 3, 2013 at 1:53pm
We're looking forward to it!! Good luck!

I was just about to say, that if you fished for smallmouths in rivers and creeks that you probably catch lots of redbreasts too, they pretty much go hand in hand. If you've got any pics of your nice redbreasts, we'd love to see them here! Thanks!
