Green Sunfish
In Kissimmee, Florida, targeting green sunfish is a productive and enjoyable pursuit, especially if you are looking for family-friendly fishing. While the area is renowned for its largemouth bass fishing in Lake Tohopekaliga and the Kissimmee Chain, the numerous canals, ponds, and smaller lakes hold surprisingly large green sunfish. Spring and early summer are the peak times to fish for them, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for areas with lily pads, reeds, and other vegetation, as these provide cover and attract the fish. Use small hooks baited with worms, crickets, or small pieces of bread. Fly fishing with small poppers or nymphs can also be very effective. A local tip: check out the canals around the Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park for excellent bank fishing opportunities. The green sunfish here are known for their aggressive strikes, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to bring mosquito repellent!
