I was just wondering anyone had luck fishing dough and bread baits on bream. Bream around my parts seem to like meat the best. But it will be May sometime before the black soldier flies start mating.

I rarely use it for bream, but it does work. Almost any fish will take bread.
Hot dogs and Spam work well.Quote:

Bread works for gills. I use a tiny bread ball on a #12 hook to catch smaller gills when I want some cut bait for catfish.
Hot dogs cool idea and some bread---- going to try that
What we found best was pillsbury buttermilk biscuits. Don’t open the can, but take your pocket knife and make a small hole in the end. You might need to fine tune the size of the hole til it’s right. The pressure inside keeps it squeezing out slowly, distributing a new doughball about when it’s needed. Also,it’s kind of stringy. Instead of squeezing it on the hook as done with bread, I hooked the dough and then wrapped the rest around the hook til it was a tight little wad. Best we ever found. And we used the 5 biscuit half packs instead of the full roll.
one slice of bread each afternoon has kept me almost sane this past year, largest bluegill is 11.25 inches and a lot of golden shiners. fun on a sz 8 cricket hook with no barb on 2 or 3# line. Have fun --shu
Good fighters. I often mistake them for a big bluegill.Quote:

They flat wore the blue gills out.

I usually get into gold shiners early in the year back in the upper end of my local water reservoir. It’s a big flat back there that warms quicker than the rest of the lake .Quote:
