March/April/May tight to bank 1' water out to about 6' pending clarity and sun hitting beds. Copperheads right behind them.

I'm yet to get the bream figured out decent in the big lakes around here.
If they are like the residential lakes around here with a ring of kissimmee grass around them, they will typically be on the shore side line of the exposed grass line. River here they seem to prefer clean bottom around cypress knees and under overhanging limbs.
I might suck at speck fishing but I'm a copperhead catching wizard

Need to link up with one of you ultra light guys to show me how its done. Duck season ends Sunday, so I'll be back in fishing mode soon.
Someone wrote a thread here a year or two ago about a guided trip for him and two or three of his buddies. It was a two or three day trip I think. I've gone
back looking for it in the archives but could not find it. I would like to know some contacts for guided Coppernose trips. That looks like a good bait but then
I don't know a thing about coppernose. All of my bream fishing has been for bluegills with beetles or beetle spins and fly rods with a popping bug and bream
killer under the popping bug.
what are coppernose? bluegill variety?
Copperheads are bluegills with a copper band between their eyes

X3! Everything in its own time Danny.
When I went to pu the candy, that electric chicken hinee just jumped in the cart all by itself. Never seen one of those before. I can tie those little jigs but it sure is easier to just open the pack and tie. I do have some others I have to rplanish before I start using them all the time again. Among them my favorite, The Gray Ghost.. put many a fish over the gunnels ove the years. Those two colors were all I found so I’ll have to look at the link you posted and copy some of the others that caught my eye.
Well, ended up giving my mom my 2 B&M Lil Jewells to fish off her dock with. Ordered me 2 of these in 12' Bream Stick Series | Lew's Fishing, should be a ton of fun with these gill candies.
Those look good to me. Joni found me a couple of the telescopic rods similar to those. You’ll have to show me the right way to rig them and so on.
Small wrap of electrical tape or skin tape about an inch beyond the eyelet, I use 10lb braid so I tie on with a double uni and only use about 2'-3' of line to jig.
Those look fun! one of my favorite bug poles, is made from an eight foot fiberglass, CB antenna. PVC handle with a natural cork float to finish off the handle to rod intersection. Made by "The Bouncing Czech" Carl Slezack. Long time friend, gone now years ago.... that things a blast!Quote:
