Nice pics, glad you had a good time.

I catch them whenever I use nightcrawlers for small channel cats. They make great flathead bait, and if prepared correctly, taste very good.

I only like baitcasting and spincasting reels, so what would be a good one for crappie, and what pound line?


Thanks

It's good to see you're okay I know all about surgery and it sure isn't fun. Take it easy for a while.

I use a 4'6" ultralight graphite rod. Big bream are a blast to catch on it. I use an Uncle Buck's "crappie" ultralight baitcaster with 2 pound line. I don't crappie fish with it, just the bream.

For large flatheads I like 10/0 King Kahle hooks from Eagle Claw. I fish on a budget, but I can still handle any flathead that wants to take the bait with a Penn 309 spooled with 30 lb braided line....

Can it be done? I don't really catch bream until about May usually.

I like using 6/0 Lazer Sharp Kahle hooks on a slip bobber rig. They usually just hook themselves and almost take the pole in the water. I think they work better in lakes than circle hooks, because...

Nice flathead! Good job releasing him too. I had a cat immediately break my 25# line with a huge piece of cut bait on the end. I was so disappointed.:(

Years ago they were my favorite bait for bluegills but I can't ever find them anymore.

I see a flathead mixed in there too. Were you using whole bream on your jugs?

Is it okay to leave the skin of the filet on the meat if you've scaled it? It's very hard for me to remove the skin from the meat. If it's not okay to leave the skin on, any tips on how I could...

1. It certainly effects it, just not to the degree that it effects catfish. If you're going for a mixed bag of bream, I'd start at about 4:00 pm, but if you're targeting the 7 and 8-inchers, I don't...

How do you distinguish between the two? I catch large bream with the blue flap on the gill, but they have a bright red breast, but don't have the extended flap like most of the redbreast...

I saw some Gulp bait in plastic containers at Wal-Mart that wasn't crappie nibbles, and they were earthworm and corn. I bought one cylinder of each, since my older brother don't like touching worms...

I've been catching them about 20 feet from the bank suspended about 5-6 feet from the surface of the water with nightcrawlers on light-wire aberdeens.



Good luck!

Eatin-size channels I like nightcrawlers and crappie minnows, big channels I like cut bait, blues I like cut bait or shrimp, flatheads I like live bream 3-5".

We can keep 25 in East Texas per day with a 10" minimum.

I didn't have my camera with me, and I wanted to get him back in the water as soon as possible, so I don't have any pictures. :(

It hit one of my catfish nightcrawler rigs at about midnight. I...

I always get skunked fishin' from the bank at Lake Murvaul, and I'm just in search of a minnow rig for crappie. I don't really got any idea what I'm doin. :rolleyes:

I do clean up on the cats...

Can't see the picture. :(

Cicada blade baits are incredible with sweet feelin and lookin action. You can find them in BPS. I don't know about for bass, but I've caught crappie on the real small ones.

I just got back from a doctor I've never been to, and he said the hernia hadn't recurred and it was probably a pulled groin. I think this is BS, unless I've had a pulled groin for 2 years. This is...

I doubt anyone here knows much on the subject, but I'm in dire need of some help.

I had severe inguinal hernia surgery about 2 years ago, and I've had hindering pain since then. I had the mesh pad...

I'll actually catch about 1 out of each 5 big bream runs that I get under a bobber, and I think it's a hook problem. What size, type, and company lure do you use for bream? Also, should I keep just a...

You got no idea how rare it is to get a flathead on an artificial. That's crazy man!

I'm not real sure how you rig up slip bobbers and how they work. A walk-through of the minnow under a slip-bobber rig would be greatly appreciated. :confused:

You think they bitin from the bank yet? :confused:

Depends on what your wantin.

Warmouths I always say the earlier the better. They bite best from 4:00 am to 10:00 am.

As far as bluegills go, you can catch them all day from sunrise to sunset.

Will-do when the water temp raises a bit. Ain't nothin for me to report right now! :p
