Thread: Bream on Beds

Maybe I just never noticed it before but I seen something I thought was strange this morning. After putting the boat in the water right after daylight I noticed all those tiny bream you see along the edge was tearing the shoreline up flipping around. The moon was still up and it looked like those little guys were possessed by it. Now those arent the bream you catch off beds but it looked like the time of the month (year) and the bright moon definitely had a effect on them.

Yea.........Thats about what I figured, but just had to ask, the whole time feeling like a big bluegill getting reeled in . Good one though!

A bucket full of Gills. Who am I? 21 Big Gills fill up a five gallon bucket.
May 6. 2015. Water temp at 7 a.m 75.9 degrees, and 79.4 surface temp at 2 p.m.
Fish are on the beds but it is fairly random, one here, three there, another here, no large beds found. I went into a deep water creek arm today and found the bigger Gills in the first two thirds of the creek arm, working the cuts off the main arm and no further back into the cuts than halfway. No fish of any size were found in the backs of any of the cuts. All of the fish came basically from around docks next to deep water. The the bigger Gills are spawning around the dock posts. All fish were taken on an 1/8 fire tiger roostertail. Crappie are suspended about 16 feet out where you can find schools of bait in deep open water. Did not chase them today, may do that next week.

Kit, that a Fast Craft or High Tide?? Always liked that style of boat.
