Just a few pictures from yesterday

Looks like a fun day.

@doemasters bait?

 

[TerryP]

I find this a bit weak.

My B&L Breambuster (13') and live crickets...I can hit a bed and have my limit (eating) in an hour. I know where they are in the reservoir.

Crickets, see pics 1 and 3

Crickets and a beetle spin but mainly crickets, I think they caught about 100 or so in an hour

On my phone..no glasses. Blind as a bat.

beetle spin

I've never had any luck with those. As in, not once. A few, maybe.

Beautiful! They hit a couple of beds.

There isn't a "sport" in bream. It's not really good eatin' considering the bones. But damn, it's fun. It's hit, after hit, after hit...just a matter of where you cast.

I can relate, have to zoom.

I love wading creeks and fishing beetle spins, never know what you're going to catch next.

Favorite for bream has to be a top water popper during this time of year. Bream on the bed or close to the banks with all of the flies in the trees. Love to see them hit the poppers.

Tommy had someone ask for some a few weeks back and he surprised that person yesterday with a cooler full

Here is where I'm the pure definition of lazy. No argument needed.

Dawn, a "regular" at the bars...she has a condo on the water. She has a party boat docked: just fill the gas tank and clean up. Of her pier I can hit dozens of beds.

I can put my pole on my bike and be at her house in less than fifteen going casually. Throw the crickets in the back pack. Two hours later I'm back home but went fishin' for a bit.

The bass are the challenge.

Hardest for him to catch? Red drum?

Sounds more like efficient to me. I can catch a lot off my folks' dock but have to weed through a lot of small ones. Put a trap out there last night, hoping to catch bait for some limb lines this evening and turn bream into flatheads.

What area were they fishing in?

We were in Tuscaloosa

@Krimson the water temp is about where it needs to be for bass right now. It's a little late.

There's a bridge that goes over part of the reservoir. I saw a a couple of guys using top water jigs. Still confused on that one. I couldn't figure out what they were throwing. It just didn't look right.

It's 11 AM. A little late. At six, a month ago, spinner bait hit. A swim jig/swim bait? Prolly hit tonight.

And this will make sense.

When I want to.

I'm doing a blackened (porcini peppers) whiting tonight on French bread as a sandwich...three colored rotini on the side tossed in an Italian dressing I made. Another "WTF" moment.

My favorite month for bass in LA is February, water temp about 52. Slow rolling spinnerbaits will catch those big prespawn girls.

Sounds good.
