Bream on the Beds

[Slipcork]

Went to the lake house (Lake Norrell) yesterday evening and could see the the bream (sunfish) were on the beds up shallow. When I see that, I can normal can find some good blue gills deeper bedded up.

Was just find to find out about this moon thing and see how often they are on the beds.

Any input? not a full moon or new moon. Gonna try and keep track of them.

I was always told Bluegill spawn every full moon in the summer. I think that meant the hatch happened every full moon. Old timers told me to throw shallow on full moons. This advice was for bass, pike, and muskey.

Hey Doug.
I am rehabbing a property that me and Mrs DP intend to move to. I just discovered Lake Norrell and it is about 10 miles from there. Sure were a lot of lice on it from the landing. How is it for fishing?

Need to fish for Catfish, they love hot weather.

Thanks Slip I was going to hit the lake here on Hamelton in the next few days to search for the breams. Nim is stuck on cats it appears and from the pictures I can't say as I blame him either. Yes they do seem to like the heat better than most fish do. I was thinking of setting a few noodles on Hamelton at dark and bass fishing all night before running them at day break.

Would'nt you if you were catching plenty on a pole? I hauled in 25 in an hour and a half this morning. Culled out a limit and went home ,left them still biting.

No problem not catfish.

Hey DP,

Yea you are not far away. Just don't get in a hurry. Norrell is very had to fish. It's a bowl with very little cover, very clear water. Can be busy at times. Other times, like during the week you may only see 3 boats. Even on the weekends, up till noon or so, very few out. Very few crappies.

Give me a yell and I'll so you around. Take about 15 min.

I've sunk cover in Norrell before I moved up here. The crappie I did catch were very large black crappie. Same for bluegill. They are some of the thickest bg's I've ever caught. Try a drop shot with two #6 wire hooks at 1.5 and 3' above the weight, about 1-2" piece of nightcrawler, pitch it out in 12-30' of water and slowly drag it across the bottom. Dragging this next to some of the docks will get you bit too.

If you leave the ramp and go to the right, there is a large cedar sunk out in that cove. We dumped some crappie and bluegill remains on it one evening and went bass fishing a while. Came back and hauled dozens of large channel cat off that tree.
