Perch
In late winter and early spring, perch abandon the main basin. Perch will move in large numbers to shallower areas when there is a thaw on the winter weeds. They are found both on rocks and in shallower areas. This bobber rig is great for catching them. But, in order to catch them you will need to know the exact time of year they are found.
Bluegill
The bluegill is one of the most popular species of panfish. Although they are native to North America and have since spread across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. They can be considered an invasive species in some regions. Bluegills are a common panfish but they have many dietary preferences. Bluegills prefer slow-moving water with vegetation and will happily eat small minnows or freshwater crustaceans.
Crappie
Crappie make up one of most large members of panfish's family. Crappie can weigh up to 12 inches, but they are considered good fish. Crappie spend most of the year schooled, so many anglers will fish for them. After spring comes, they move to shallower areas. Crappies prefer small bait fish so artificial lures and live minnows work well. But larger fish might be more difficult to catch.
Sunfish
There are many species you can target when you fish for panfish and sunfish. These species prefer warm water and should be at least 50° Fahrenheit. Both Atlantic and Pacific oceans have a variety of sunfish species. Each sunfish spends the majority of its life submerged. Sunfish will often catch lures or artificial lures. These fish are usually found near structures.
Bream

Larger bluegill prefer the cooler waters. The red-eyed sunfish, the shellcracker tends to also prefer deep beds. Here are some tips to catch the largest bream:

How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing involves the capture of fish from freshwater sources like lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. Common fish species include bass, catfish and crappie as well as trout, trout, sunfish and walleye. There are several different methods used to catch these species of fish. Some popular methods include casting, trolling, jigging, spinnerbaits, flyfishing, baitcasting, and ice fishing.
Finding a good area to catch any kind of fish is the first step. This usually means choosing a place close to the source of your water supply. Next, decide what type of equipment to use.
It is important to choose bait that looks similar to food for live bait. Live bait can include worms or minnows as well as crickets, frogs or bloodworms.
Artificial lures can also be used. They are made from plastics, woods, feathers or metals. Artificial lures come in many shapes and sizes. Artificial lures can mimic natural prey such as minnows and crawfish or shiners and grubs. Many people prefer to use lures because they don't require much skill to cast them into the water. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
You might want to learn how to cast if you don’t want live bait or want to try new techniques. Casting is one of most effective ways to catch fish. It takes very little effort and requires no special skill.
You only need a rod. A reel. Line, sinkers, weights, hooks. A simple pole will suffice to cast. Casting is as easy as holding the rod vertically high above the water. You then slowly lower your rod's tip to the water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. The lure will drop into the water once the line is at its full length.
Another method of catching fish is trolling. Trolling involves moving a lure through the water using a boat.
Fishing is both enjoyable and lucrative. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier than others, but they all require practice.
