Alabama without a doubt, use to catch them by the hundreds daily when they were bedding.

Wilson and Guntersville lakes in north Alabama produce some big Bream and Shellcrackers.

Thats right crappie top. We catch alot on Guntersville. When I was a kid we use to wade over at south sauty and strattle the bream beds with our legs real slow and catch bream from between our feet. It was so fun.

I have to throw in a vote for Louisiana. Just about any water you fish has large quantities of bream and some places have some really large ones. We fish a bayou that feeds Lake Pontchartrain and the salt water doesn't seem to affect them. Tenacious little devils.

Sante Cooper is by far the best in the Southeast.

I have fished em all.

i don,t catch a great number of wall hangers but the ocmulgee river in ga is maybe not the best but it is still fun to drift and fish great for relaxing the mind and getting away from the rushed lifestyle

Don't count Louisiana out, because there are some huge panfish in some areas down here, especially the rivers.
