I fish the upper part of Murray often because it is less crowded and is a productive area. So I got the great idea that I should fish it a night. I went with one of my gullible friends(Jeff) and we anchored out on the point near where the two large creeks converge into the lake. I thought if we used fresh cut herring and night crawlers we would load the boat with catfish and other night time feeders.
Well, it was not to be. We anchored and fished from 7 until 11 and caught one catfish, around 3 to 4 pounds. We changed locations once during that time but it did not help much.
One thing I found interesting though. We hit the docks trying to see if a crappie was around. I was using a jig and Jeff was casting a Bitsy Pond Minnow and he caught 6 or 7 nice bream on it. He was trying to get some white perch for bait, but all he got were the bream. I switched to a Rooster Tail and caught 3 or 4 bream after the jig did not produce.
I was wondering if we had specifically been fishing for bream what we would have caught?
