Hello, my name is Harry A. Lamey in Biloxi, Ms. and would like to join the Fl Panhandle Bream Busters. We are not that far away from each other and looks like we share the same type of fishing. I fish for bluegill only with a fly rod and am a avid…Continue

Comment by clint johnson on May 21, 2011 at 6:23am: You need to go to wewa and break the jinx ,what you waitin on

Comment by J. B. Hillard on May 21, 2011 at 5:29am: Clint, you hit it nice at Wewa. That's some giant bream. Would love to nail a few on my new 4 wt flyrod.

Friend Herman from South Port and I went to Holmes Creek Friday morning. Got there at 5:30 and fished until 11:30. I am jinxed. Brought home two small shellcrackers that Herman caught. No one was doing anything except the bass guys we spoke with had one or two small ones. I did see 2 mayflys on the water and nary a bream hit them. I haven't caught enough fish in last 3 trips to have a fish fry.

Comment by J. B. Hillard on May 21, 2011 at 5:25am: Mike, I have never seen a boat like that. What is it's brand name?

Looks like a really fine fishing platform in protected waters and should be east and inexpensive to operation. I assume it's power by electirc.

Comment by Mike Stacy on May 20, 2011 at 10:51pm: Sweet... spent the last couple days fixing the FREE BOAT... I'm posting pics now... It's a water rocket! A shallow draft, FAST boat. Major bream fishing platform... needs pole holders and plenty of tie downs... AND registration! But I have the motor pretty much ready to go, and everything else seems sound. I'd love to make the maiden voyage into a mayfly hatch!

Comment by clint johnson on May 20, 2011 at 10:17pm: Went to wewa fri afternoon had a great trip we had 30 bream , mayflies are thick if you can get there you need to go. Dead lakes is where the action is!

Comment by J. B. Hillard on May 18, 2011 at 4:53pm: I found the two landings in question. One is Stricklands Landing which is public, and the other is private in a very nice river home resort area. You would not know the homes were there looking from the river. Both are just down river from the bridge on hwy 284 (millers ferry rd). Going to give it a shot Friday, early.

Comment by J. B. Hillard on May 17, 2011 at 7:24pm: Welcome Mike, hope to hear more from you. I enjoy swapping info and taling fishing. Hope you do good ont he flatheads. I'm not a cat guy but would like to get into the game.

Comment by Mike Stacy on May 17, 2011 at 7:21pm: Heading out the door to fill a cooler with bullheads, because the bream drive them out of the shallows when they bed, and I EAT FISH!

Not the best fish to be had... but I soak them in lemon lime soda, and it takes the FUNK out. They fry up nice after the soda soak.

Gotta go work now. This is my food for the week... I'll be back online once I've got 30lb on the stringer. About 4 hrs...

Comment by J. B. Hillard on May 17, 2011 at 7:21pm: I will probably go along in my boat. I can get into spots that a big basa boat can't. Also, will be at the landing by 5:30.

Today I caught the bass on a Round Dinny, yellow.

Let me know how Wewa works out. I sure would like to give that a shot even though it's a two hour drive for me.
