Thread: Bream on Beds

Try the strike king itsy Bitsy minnow

A fly rod and a two fly setup!! Hard to beat seeing those flies being slammed

What's a two fly setup? Picture?

x2 what sinkermaker siad them small small floating minnows are fun but make sure youve got a good pair of needlenose or change the small treble to a single hook.

Not yet, but tonight is the full moon, water temp is right. This coming week should find them on the beds . I like a single hook roostertail, small crankbait, even a jig. Just about anything works when they are on the bed. Just take a few, then go find another bunch of them. You can clean out an entire bed of fish. When I meet folks on the lake, hey you do'in any good. Why sure I have caught six carp. Chuckle. Kit

Butch I like to use a Bream Killer with a tag line of 24'' and will tie on a fly I make. Most of the time the tag fly will get killed by the bream.

My "Fly #B001"

That B001 fly is one of my favorites....the bluegill and trout love it too!!!! Ronnie, we need to try the pond in the next week or so......

Just got back from Murray, nice day with no wind. Fished the clear water, Beards creek, Ballentine, and mouth of Bear Creek. Also two biggest Gills were caught off Bomb Island, good flat next to very deep water on the west side. Found some fish on beds, but small groups and quite deep, by deep in 5 to 7 feet of water so you cannot see the beds. I was using a roostertail to locate them with and when one would flash up I would work the area real good with a jig. Fish I found were on the south side of the creek arms on the secondary points on the west side of the points. No fish found way back in the cuts or coves. All fish more or less next to deep water. Over a hundred caught if you count green sunfish and white perch, kept 8 for supper. Off to check out the Little Saluda tomorrow. One crappie, about six inches long, at 14 feet by those docks in beards creek where that sailboat marina is on the south side. Crappies are evidently out in open water, did not look for them today.
