Bream/Red Ear near LBSRP

[MikeA57]

This is related to my other thread about LBSRP but I'm wondering how the bream/red ear fishing will be over Labor Day. I may have some young kids that want to go fishing and I figured that would be an easy way to do it. Do they respond better to live bait or jig type baits? If live, cricket or worms? If jigs, what color and type?

Thanks!

Mike

When we go there we fish from the side walk next to the lodge and catch all the blue gill you want. We take the boat out in the morning and evening and find a shady spot on the sidewalk. Crickets, Wax worms, jigs under a bobber always worked for us.

I concur !! But, I'd fish that whole bank from the lodge to the first covered boat dock , and concentrate on the corner pocket (next to the lodge) and the riprap (close to the boat dock).

If they can cast, a 1/32oz marabou Roadrunner will catch them some fish. If using live bait, I'd go for nightcrawlers ... pinching off just enough to cover the hook (or jighook) and fish them just off the bottom.

Give us a report when you get back, and pictures of the action are always a treat !!

Another good bluegill spot at the lodge this time of year is the dock just down the hill from the swimming pool where boats are tied for those wanting to eat at the lodge restaurant. I've found when fishing around a dock this time of year you only want to fish just deep enough where you can't see your bait...and fish in the shady side of the dock. I've caught really good bluegill there on that dock in September and October.

I use redworms , mealworms, and wax worms seem to have pretty good luck, of course with a small bobber
