I am catching some really good Bluegill in deep water right now. Kept getting my tube jigs jerked off the jig head with no hookup. AS guy told me it was Bream. So I bought some Red Wigglers and dropped them a line down into a crappie top. What a surprize! I am catching from 25 to 45 really good Bluegill in half a day. I am having a ball.
That sounds fun. Always wondered how to catch 'em when the went deep.
Sounds fun, just rub it in. with wind today our temp is 18.
A great idea when the crappie bite is slow. I may have to give it a try. How deep? Are you finding them on points or brush? What is the water temp.? Would love to see some pics.
I am fishing in 18' of water in a top just off the main channel. The water temp right now is 50.
nice,wish i was out that way not stuck in nj,right now it says 16 outside right now!brrrr
Nice fishing! Good eating! Life is good. Congratulations.
Oh sure rub it in LOL 15 degrees and wind chill of 3, man I can't wait for spring
Bream bite right through winter, yankees catch them through the ice.
Just wanted to add that there are some huge gills/bream around down here in LA, even with this crazy weather. I took my flat out to start getting ready for warmer days and found some stumps/falldowns in 13 fow. Tried to see if I could catch a few sacs and in about 2 mins got that thump. I thought the thump was a sac but ended up being a bluegill (bream). They hit that Gulp Alive panfish minnow bait. I was under I-55 waterway between LaPlace and Ruddock, water is low and temp a little cold be it felt good on my old 7ft ultralight Creekside rod.
Been catching bream and shellcracker for about 3 weeks now in north Alabama. Catching good numbers and it's alot of fun when the crappie bite gets slow.
you can shorten the tail on those tubes with scissors and try to elemanate those short strikes. Also try some superglue to help hold it on the jighead
Where in N. Alabama you fishing. We catch them in upper Guntersville in the creeks.
jaycee, I've been fishing mid-lake on guntersville in 10-15 fowQuote:
