Unfortunately, this lake has no weeds, lily pads, cypress trees, etc. It is a Corp. lake which mostly has tree stumps left in the coves for "fish shelters" but that's about it. The only gills I've found that were congregated and had decent size was during the spawn and that was beds way, way back up in remote places a bigger boat wouldnt even be able to get to. I've never really targeted bream on the lake. I've stumbled onto bream beds while out bowfishing a couple times and went back and fished the beds. This year I saw several beds but only managed bait-sized bream off them. I tried fishing deeper water away from those beds but didnt catch anything of any size. I know there's gotta be some big bream in this lake cause I caught good hand sized bream in there 20+ years ago but guess I dont know enough about them to know where to look. Thanks for your tips guys.
