Remember When People Fished For Bream?

Today the overwhelming number of fishermen go for bass and/or crappie. Fewer numbers go for catfish and fewer yet for bream. One of the reasons that people used to fish mostly for bream was that few people had boats. Most people fished from creek banks with cane poles. That situation called for bream fishing using worms, crickets, grasshoppers, wasp nest larve, grub worms, etc. Sometimes, while fishing for bream you would catch a catfish, crappie, or bass, but not very often. Those fish were usually out in deeper water and you needed a boat and moter to get to them.
As for a long time...............bream was king!!!
