Sounds like you had a lot of fun, nice job. How was the wind?
Wife and i set off at around 7:00 a.m. went to my secrect bream holes and started off good with two keepers.When i say keepers i am talking 7" or better.using a yellow floating popper. wife using red wrigglers on a telescoping crappie pole,staying hung up in trees/stumps as usual.Must have gone through at least 12 hooks during 3 hours.Worms producing bait snachters,fly rod same except for occassional keeper.Finally they wore off everything on popper and changed up to new green floating popper.Explosived hit,but had to fish differentily using a cast,stop pop,stop method.Caught several pumpinseed on steriods.When they hit the water exploded and i thought i had the mother of all bream on.Turned out to be about 4" long.Must have thrown back 60 smallies.How did yard sell go?I need two beds to put in basement for visiting Cc,folks such as yourself.Let me know if you run across such.

Sounds like a great day Sedge!
We tried the same attack yesterday, with not nearly those results.
Do gooder since April 26, 2009!
It is fun messing with them little buggers,they have a heart for fight like a Marlin!Wind did become an issue around 9:00 a.m. when the sun started warming up.Finally chased me off the main lake and into Six Pound Creek.Wife caught the biggest bream of the day there in about a foot of water.Check your p.m.
Yea, it/s fun to mess around with those bream,especially on a fly rod. They have a lot of pull-age for fish of their size.
Haven't checked any lake stats to compare number of Shell Cracker citations but there is a good population of citation Shell Crackers that come out of their LCR . You might want to check it out and make a trip up. Here's one that a friend caught last Friday.
