They are literally everywhere A cork and some worms and you are set

I actually spent some time this afternoon trying that exact thing. I had to scale down to a tiny hook and a small piece of a night crawler to actually put a fish in the boat. Guess I'm just looking to try to catch a slightly bigger fish.

The bream on Wateree are plentiful, but I've always considered them smallish. I usually use crickets myself. Fished under a cork around floating grass mats or around docks will produce an abundance of action.

Friendly advice that works for me. Lose the cork and try the cricket Carolina style. You will find much larger results. You may hang up a little more but it is worth a few bulls to me. Good luck! I fish a deep clear lake and this method works in the deeper water...
