Bream?

[brianj]

I know most of you guys focus on bass fishing, but wondering if you have any tips on bream beds. I've found a few near my dock at victoria and one or two across the marina in some of the longer coves, but usually justa bed or two and not more than that.
Any ideas where to look between little river and owl creek?

I did manage to find a few nice ones sunday morning, but that has been the extend of my luck. Planning to try that spot again (across from victoria)this afternoon and see if it was a fluke or productive spot. Just catching and releasing for the record - too much work cleaning those things, but fun to catch...

thanks

Brian, for every bedding spot you see there are probably a dozen or more that you don't see in the same area. Look for those "wet" weather runoff pockets where there is a sandy or slightly silted bottom that extends out a ways. If it is protected from a lot of the wave action the odds are the bream will be there.

thanks. my son and i found a few spots exactly like what you are talking about today and caught a few nice ones on worms today. Want to try it again on the next full moon and if they are there in geater numbers. I've been chasing hybrids and stripers the last few yrs and tired of waking up at 4am to catch bait and then running 30 minutes from dock to catch fish. Going to play around with the bream the next month or so and see if i can figure them out.
thanks again

I am one of the last hold outs, still working with a color LCG Lowrance 520. I guess I would not be the one to ask on that. Sorry

Yes with the Si sonar you should be able to see the bream beds but not so with the Di sonar.
