    Default Has anyone on here ever found a bream bed on Smith Lake?


    I know this may sound like a dumb question but I cannot find a bream bed on Smith. I have seen them swimming around and fanning their beds in every other body of water that I've fished in except for the Gulf of Mexico. When the moon is full I will smell the sweet bream bed smell all the time. I drown crickets and worms in 5' to 20' of water with no decent numbers ever. I will catch a few at night in the lights sometimes and they are usually huge for bluegills and I've seen shellcrackers cruising the banks that looked to be well over 2 lbs. I will be there for all of this weekend and any tips would be greatly appreciated. I know they're spawning, but where?!?!

    I own a pair of Costas that cost me a fortune and I can't see 'em when the lake's up. I will see a few when the water is down in September and fish them the next year and the bream aren't bedding there any more. Every other place that I've fished for them they bed in same spots every year.

    By the way, I didn't get the chance to look for any beds while I was up there. I did catch 6 crappie that were over 13" in a span of 20 minutes on Friday though!

    I fish Neely Henry and I'm a complete failure fishing for bream. I can catch all the 2-3 inch fish I want, but nothing larger. I grew up in a different part of the country and used to regularly catch dozens of 6-9 inch bream. Just can't do it here.
