There is a northern Rock Bass in your area. It doesn't have the red eye and has almost the same shape as a Blue Gill. I have caught Warmouth in your state and they have a red eye.

Here is a Warmouth:



Here is the Northern Rock Bass:




Here is a Green Sunfish:



All three of these have a thumbable sized mouth but only the Warmouth has the red eye.[cool]

One of the easiest baits for them is Baby Nightcrawlers or use about 1/2 of a normal sized Nightcrawler.

Put that about 2 feet under a bobber and wait for the pull.

You may also have access to Mealworms or Waxworms. They should also work.[cool]
