Ahhh yes.....breams, snakes and alligators. Must be summer fishin at Washington. lol Seriously, the locals tell me the bream are bout done, but I have always thought they spawned through out the summer till late July, even some in August. Mostly around the full moon, few days before and after?? Might be wrong. Go have fun anyway. I'm sure you'll fins a few in there.
may send Jerry Gross meatgetter a message, I saw him post a pic of his wife with a big ole bull bream! I havent drowned a cricket in a while
Never been there, so figured I might as well ask...
Eagle lake has some nice bream as well
Never been there either...
??? Maybe less pressure at Eagle?
they BOTH gets lots of pressure on Bream. I just prefer Eagle since it's a little closer to the house and an easier drive. Mostly I-20
Is the big rise in the MS going to affect Eagle?
Not directly but it does at certain levels. The road i use to get there is closedQuote:

Yeah the highway is under water.
LOL... How big?
x2 on Eagle. Some big ole mean gills and crackers in there. I have never fished Washington either myself, though. My uncle live on eagle and said that the water is over the highways. Limited to the levee roads right now I think. Just came down the MS from Cairo to Baton Rouge and she is high high high!

So much to learn here... Glad I have folks willing to share... I would have just taken off up that way, and not even guessed that you couldn't get to the lake without issues! Meanwhile, I am still sitting here in the house, cause my fishing partner is out of pocket again! Seeking a new one... Cannot believe there aren't any other retired folks around who like to fish! Everyone I meet just wants me to give them fish... Acting like a bunch of Millennials!
School is out for the Summer CliffordN and as soon as I get family vacation finished next week be looking for a Carolina Skiff almost exactly like yours anywhere from Clear Lake to Horseshoe early in the mornings with 2 girls(7 and 6 year old) and a wild 4 year old screaming "let me throw it out by myself" That will be me all Summer long when the wind allows.Quote:

Bream are about done but not through. Don't have to use crickets, get a black 1/32 oz jig if you like to feel the thump.
Amen
They'll be at it again next full moon. I've actuallly spider rigged for break at eagle lake. Used crickets instead of minners. Worked pretty good
Now there is something I have never heard of. I like to learn something new every day.
