Just giving everybody a heads up because Ive seen several people talking about bream the past few weeks..caught 54 good sized red ear bream this afternoon on a private lake in Central Ark..water temp was 66-68 and several beds on different parts of the lake in 2-4 feet of water..caught 6-10 on each bed tight lining crickets and it was a blast!
None of them had eggs so I assume its the first males of the year making beds..maybe someone could answer that Im not sure when it comes to bream
nothing like tapatalk for pictures
Nice pile of fish.... :ThumbsUp Was hopping to get after them this saturday but it's gonna be cold cold cold.....
Congrats. Good haul!
Same here 20watt but I looked at the forecast and decided to get after em this afternoon and Im glad we did..Ill catch up on work this weekend with this crazy weather on the way
Good pile o feesh.
I was on peckerwood Wednesday and the bream were showing out. My friend and I caught 83 real nice ones and then started a great game of catch and release. Crickets were the bait of the day. I will caution you now, when tight lining get ready for a real fight. Good Luck.
Those were some brutes!!! I bet they were pullers. I'd like to get after some this year myself. I fished Hamelton high and low last year looking for them and everything else but came up empty while my buddy managed to find a few on Gillham lake. Most of what we catch are just the bull bream though not the bigger redears like you have here. I noticed the meat is even a different color, the copper, red bellied bream have a darker meat, still good, but not like the redears white meat like a crappie will have.
