I will be taking a three day herping trip NW Ohio and on my way home I am planning on hitting the Lake Erie shoreline for various herp species. On that last day I wouldn't mind throwing a siene a looking for some fish, where specificially I would like to get for my tank Orangespot Sunnies and Orangethroat Darters. I have captured the darters before and have an idea of habitats, but I have never seen the sunfish.

I am essentially looking for areas close to the Lakeshore where I have a good shot at either fish, or especially in the case of the sunfish, what habitats I should be focusing on.

Thanks for any help.

PMs if you don't want to broadcast localities.

the only places ihave ever caught orange sunnies is the fremont ohio dam which is the sandusky river is a great spot i caught five this weekend hunting minnows, another good spot is the grand rapids dam.

Thanks for the advice on here and those of your who sent a PM. I was able to spend a little time catching fish and ended up seeing and catching my first ever Orangespots. Unforunately they were all very small so I have a few in a growout tank until they get some size on 'em.

I was on the Maumee and also caught my first Brook Silverside and Mississippi Grass Shrimp - the shrimp was actually my favorite catch.
