This is a cheapie with an old closed face reel, but it's full of nice looking blue, limp, mono. Looks like good stuff.

So I may hit the lake with the express purpose of trying to find Bream for Catfish bait, or Crappie to feed my Wife's appetite for Deep Fried Crappie.

It's really hot, steamy. I'll fish after the sun goes over toward 6 PM or so and clear after dark.

What would you start with?
Where would you fish? Over underneath the brush, out in the middle....?
Deep or shallow?

Any particular color Jig? I have some 1/16 Oz jigs.

Trolling's out of the question with this light stuff.
