Do you love big bluegill?

The typical bream in moms neighborhood pond. Some are bigger, very few are smaller. The ponds food chain begins with people throwing bread to ducks. The bream will only bite whole wheat bread. They scorn white bread, crickets, worms, and everything else I've tried... but the bread WORKS! Bass will snatch them off the hook, and sometimes try to eat my stringer. I love Moms pond!

Natures Own 100% whole wheat bread. That's the brand I use for them, because it's cheap, doesn't have whole grain CHUNKS to make the bait flake off the hook, and most important of all... they eat it! Just enough to cover the hook, with the barb sticking out, because they are thieves. I use a very light foam float with a lead bottom, and two tiny split shot. The float barely rides above water, and sometimes they barely sink it when they bite. I prefer to tight line a dropper loop rig on the bottom, but there are WAY too many snags in that pond. All the bits of house blown in by hurricane Ivan i guess. It's all bream attracting structure now, and it's working!

I understand the spurning of white bread for wheat bread. It's like trying to drink REAL Coke after you've trained yourself to drink Diet Coke. The original is just too syrupy tasting. White bread is just to gommy! I never tried to write gommy before, I hope you get it. Syrupy either. Gosh I wish I had gone on to college so's I could spell the good words.

What I don't understand is the spurning of crickets. Those are some weird fish man. NICE, but weird.

That's hilarious - finicky bluegill eating wheat bread.

Those are some nice coppernose, by the way.
