Bream bedding ?

[RUGER]

Buddy of mine said his friend told him we needed to come bream fishing.
This past weekend he said all down one bank there were bream bedding everywhere.

In August?

I tend to believe they were just feeding on some type of hatch or something along the bank in the grass and stuff.
I could be wrong though?

Bream can spawn multiple times throughout the year. I saw some on beds on the last full moon, but havent fished shallow enough to notice any lately.

My buddy caught some he said were on the bed a couple weeks ago. He said they'll bed through September. I always thought it was May and June.

the last few years they have been bedding later on KY lake. why i dont know but im beginning to think the carp is pushing them out of their spawning sites earlier. usually they will spawn at least twice and june and july have been the better months. last week was the new moon so it should have been a good bite.

dont have a problem with bluegill, but crappie seem to get mushy a bit. shock killing with ice and icing down for 6-12 hours does seem to firm them up.

Yea they'll bed more than once in a season for sure. Also the longear sunfish should be on bed now, I gotta get out and catch some of those.

I always ice mine down and leave them overnight and clean them the next day.
MUCH easier and faster than doing it fresh.

it cleans the blood out of the meat too. striper fisherman dude told me that a few years ago. says all the blood will draw into the guts. lol, my BIL caught a bunch of crappie out of the nasty water in big sandy slough and fileted them as soon as he caught them. some of the nastiest fish i ever ate. he ruined my wife on his fish fry.
