Our First GA Bream Thread - A fishing report by Danbo

Four of us went down to the Ohoopee River near Reidsville yesterday. wE DID NOT KEEPS BUT 22 and some were small but the river was a site to behold. The Ohoopee is maybe the 2nd purtiest river in Georgia. The Satilla would be number 1 and the Ogeechee number 3. My boat used almost 200 crickets attached to our SPin Dandy's and tossed back many real little fellers. We did catch a few nice red breast and two fine war mouth bream. The water temp was still too cool and it was very low.

A very good dayAttachment 89863Attachment 89864Attachment 89866Attachment 89867Attachment 89868

Oh yeah, definitely got to get the bream poles out now! Nice pictures Danbo

That's some pretty water!

I'll share my method if anyone cares to try it. I put this grub on a 1/32 jig head and use a slip bobber set acording to depth. When I cast into an area they hit it on the way down. If they don't hit it I slowly pull the bobber a foot or two and let it fall again. This jig actually out fishes crickets for me when I'm bream fishing and they work for specks also. I wouldn't know where to get them. I originally bought them at Gander Mountain, but they don't carry them anymore so I'll be looking in every bait shop I go in. They are a pearl color with black specks. Hope you don't mind me poaching on your site. We don't have a bream board yet.

welcom to our new brim forum speckanator . you should be able to git some of the curley tail lure makers to make you some in that color . if the ocmulge gits enough water in it this summer i will post some picks but it is so lou you can wade across in most any plce.

Now that's what I'm talking about

I have some of those same twister tails. I got them at bass pro in Duluth last time I was there. Funny I never saw them there before. I really liked the look of them so I picked up a few packs and they worked great on crappie at Reelfoot lake in tenn. can't wait to see how they do for bream. Here in Ga. I have also had good luck using a pearl 1/32 jig head with red worms or wax worms. Bream seem to love them.

my favorite type of lures are the 1 inch curly tails! I get them on-line from these folks:

LISTING OF ALL SOFT PLASTIC BAIT

I like to fish them for everything- bass and crappie will bite them with a faster retrieve and the gills will too, but fishing them like you do works well, also.

bream fishing for me this year has been better then crappie. I got into a whole mess of them up in a trout bream i was at, you talking about nice color they were bright as can be. I spotted a area were cane poles were laying over and going into the water. I said heck yeah there's got to be a nice trout tucked away in there, nope it was the holy gail of bluegill holes. I guess all the trout guys caught a few and throw them back and moved on. I slap tore'em up could have limited out on bream and bluegill but throw them back for the next trip in case the trout as slow.

I'll post a picture soon I had to take a picture of one of the bluegill the face markings with the bright blue I've seen, like a electric blue color.
