Got p'd on today. Lots of bream pics...

[RamblinWreck]

I figured some bream might be on or near beds with the full moon. Went today 10-3 (slept in), fished small jigs tipped with red wigglers, and the ol' stand-by "root beer float" color trout magnet on 1g JDM Daiwa jig. I found some good 'uns in a biting mood. Lost count of how many I released, 20-30 I guess, and I took home 7-8 big males, which have been filleted and are resting on ice. Prob enough for 2-3 meals, since kids are moved out. I may go again in the AM and check some different areas.

I caught a mess of them too.. I used my favorite small crankbait and they couldn't resist

A bitsy minnow in fire tiger has been producing well for me so far

I’ve been trying to locate some beds using side imaging while bass fishing. I’ve never been able to find big bream at Sinclair other than the occasional shell cracker. I’m sure they’re there though

You have this figured out pretty good.

My little pond has some huge bluegill but their spawning area has been covered in silt and I don't see any beds. Will they bed on a sandy, silty bottom? Is there a method for getting the silt out?

 

[RamblinWreck]

Afraid I don't know the answers to those questions. Maybe someone who manages ponds will chime in... they will spawn somewhere. I find them with sonar/Livescope, and sometimes even my nose. Maybe the spawn is over for the year.

The colors and variation in those bream is fantastic. Nice size too!

That crankbait wouldn't be a small green Rebel grasshopper would it ?

I don't ever have any luck with those. The one I use is a small chrome and black one.

Caught a bunch on topwater myself yesterday for my birthday in between bass. Lot of fun
