    Default Headed To The Bream Beds


    Taking the kids to Conway today.
    I had to remove the jig poles from my boat to prevent me from getting side tracked!

    We use our 12' jig poles for Bream. Yesterday the watershed we Bream fish was still high and wind was bad. Started slow but found a good bed and anchored. My buddy used a Rockhopper(weighted fly)tipped with a Crappie nibble under a cork. I used the old method of long shanked wire #10 hook under a weighted float using worms. He finally gave up on the nibbles and added worms to his Rockhopper. Not because he was'nt catching but cause I caught twice as many and more Redear. Stopped with them still biting with 26 Redear and about 56 Bluegill.

    Didn't last long, caught about 20 bluegills, kids wanting to go swimming. They were not on beds, they were pretty far off of the banks scattered out.
    I always use MicroSpin combos from WalMart. 4' ultra lights. Usually on Conway you find them on the bank in a couple of feet of water, we just anchor off and cast to em'. Today they were about 5 feet of water on the bottom.
    I always use a small hair jig, I started buying them for my wife because she wouldn't touch a cricket, come to find out by the time you figure in the time for re-baiting, them little jigs will catch fish 3 to 1 vs a cricket.
    Just a few weeks ago I was cleaning my shop, came across 2 cricket cages, I tossed them into the trash!
