Picture of the Day, – Pumpkin Seed
The panfish family has always had a special place in my heart. Most likely from the fact that they are the first fish I can really remember targeting as a pip squeak youngster sitting on an end of a dock. Fishing for hours upon hours. So when this time of year comes around, I always have to head out and throw around the poppers. If you have not visited bream bugs.com I would highly recommend them for the best assortment of poppers and other flies for warm water fishing.
I grew up fishing farm ponds in southern Georgia, and we always used the colloquialism bream. I can hear my aunt now, “Ya’ll catch a bucket of bream?” Good stuff. I love the bream bug website, I’ve been buying my mini-poppers from Wal-mart or Meijer. Thanks for the tackle tip, looking forward to a few new poppers to add to the arsenal.
