Location area hard to provide as the fish get removed so fast. Many people will keep the largest sunfish, rather than leave the 9 plus inch gills in the lake to sustain the lake. Keeping 7 to 8 1/2 inch fish. When biggest gills are removed this allows smaller fish to spawn before they are truly mature. I have seen lakes go from having a 8 inch average sunfish to having a 5 1/2 inch average. Sunfish grow only 1 inch per year or less.
Your best bet would be to find a depth, and just fish that depth going around the whole lake. I have done fishing guide trips on Clearwater and caught nice sunfish on waxies and crawlers. Start at 9 ft of water.
