Anglers can catch bream all over Georgia and their availability and abundance make this a great species for fi shing with kids. Bream include: redbreast, bluegill and redear (shellcracker).
Best time to fi sh: Mornings and evenings during the spring, summer, and fall months are generally the most productive times for bream fi shing. Angler tips: Redbreasts are most abundant in south Georgia rivers in deep holes with submerged woody debris along main river channels. When fi shing for bluegill, cast bait around cover along the shoreline in oxbow lakes, sloughs, slack-water areas or eddy pockets. In late spring, anglers will fi nd redear around woody debris and overhanging vines along riverbanks.
Gear/Bait: Beginners only need a simple spincasting combination, spinning combination or cane pole with 6 – 8 pound line, size 6 or 8 hook, a small bobber and a small weight. Bluegill and redbreast take live bait and artifi cial lures. Redbreast and bluegill prefer crickets and worms under a bobber or on the bottom with split-shot weights. Redear prefer red wigglers or crickets fi shed near the bottom or under a bobber. Fly fi shing for these pan fi sh with small poppers also is great fun!
