Saturday Bream on Waxworms

[Cricketcage]

Mainly just trying to see if I can post pictures.:o Had a good day fishing with my boy on Saturday and we brought back 15 pretty good size bream anchored by a nice 11" shellcracker. Would have been quite a bit more but for the wind whipping slack into our lines (bank fishing). I have always used crickets exclusively for bream, but decided to try waxworms just for a change. Don't know if waxworms are any better, but they sure aren't bad!

Well - apparently I uploaded a big file I didn't want to and now I can't seem to get rid of it.

Nice catch...I have two containers in the garage fridge that I picked up from the local Pet Mart...I can't wait to try them this weekend.

Now that's a nice looking little batch of panfish. Them shellcrackers don't look a whole lot different then the bluegills. Shellcrackers do not exist up here so it is cool to see something different. Looks like they have a slightly longer face and tend to be a bit larger then the bluegills.

Nice catch! Thanks for sharing the pics.

Looks like they have a slightly longer face ...

Yeah, they don't develop that "pug" nose that bluegills do. Shellcrackers keep that traditional fish shape.

DBD, that's the best description/explanation I've ever heard. Nice. Thumbs Up

Sunfish interbreed so much that sometimes even marine biologists don't know exactly what the fish is!

Man that's a big cracker. Congrats on the catch.

Glad you liked it. Another way I like to think of it is that the bigger the bluegill, the more he will be shaped like a ping pong paddle.
