Thanks for the reply. Yep, the observers don't miss much, specially any squirrel activity on the bank !

The larger mouthed bream are actually Green Sunfish, and we have quite a population in the lake, to the annoyance of the bass fishermen. I catch them quite often, but I target similar sized quarry, and ounce for ounce they outfight the bluegill, and even small bass, by a large margin.

These little tail pullers irritate the bass fishermen anytime a worm, or jig is thrown up to the bank, especially on a shallow, rocky slope, near deeper water. Tap tap tap ….. Tap tap tap …. !!! Purdy little things, though,
