I fished a new lake today that is known for its bream. I used my typical method of smelling the strong odor they emit when on beds and then I use my sidescan to more accurately pinpoint where they are. I ended up smelling about 5 or 6 beds but I noticed that I didn’t see any white spots on the beds (which is usually how bream show up when they are sitting on the beds). But I fished the beds anyway and only ended up catching two big males the entire day. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Smelling the strong bream bed odor but no fish being on the beds? It’s the first time this has happened to me. Since it’s known as a bream lake and relatively small I figured maybe other folks had already cleaned them out or the fish had already spawned but the odor was still present.
