Picture of Bream Beds

I saw these along the dam while I was crappie fishing today, you have to look careful. They went for about 50yrds.

I know it sounds strange but the owner of the private lakes I fish says not to mess with the bream unless every once in awhile you want a mess. I've caught 13" bream while crappie fishing and they have shocked a 16" one. I've only keep 6 in the last year but I sure would have liked to hit those beds with my fly rod:D

We've been fishing the same bream beds at Pickwick Lake for last 15-20 years. They're in the same spot every year in May.

Ship, those beds are in the private lakes I fish and the owner doesn't like you to mess with the bream so I don't fish for them but I catch a lot of big ones while I'm fishing for crappie. I've caught and released one 13" long and the biologists have shocked one that was 16". He says I can keep a mess every once in a while but I've only kept 6 in the last year.
