Thread: bream in muddy water how-to

Don't know about 60 degree water but for muddy water maybe something in bright colors? Jigs, flies, lures, whatever. Bright colors do the trick for me in muddy water usually. Your results may vary. Best of luck.

worm, cricket, jig, jig w/ spinner. same way you would catch them any other time.

If i'm out for nothing but some bluegill fishing (usually with the little one) since they jit constant and are fun to catch... I'll simple use a small brim hook and take some red worms or crickets with me.
I use a small BB shot about 3-4" above the hook and then place a bobber another 6" up.
When they give a tug set the hook, and enjoy. Their extremely easy to catch and fun if they have some size to them. Most people I see make the mistakes of using huge hooks and then wonder why they keep losing their bait but have no fish to show for their effort.

In muddy water use the color black. The addition of a blade such as a beetle spin isn't bad.

Thanks folks, I had it set in my heart to just wait for clearer water and maybe practice using my new Rapala slashbait for bass. Now I don't have to.

Try using some kind of fish attractant spray like YUM on a cricket.

The worms you dig outta your back yard to me are better than any you buy in bait stores, these worms, a small bream hook, and a small float. always do thr trick for me.

me and a couple of buddies of mine make chesse balls out of chesse and crackers. the bream go nuts over those things. for anyone who hasn't given cheese a chance, your missing out!
