How To Catch Bream For Bait In Alabama

Some new and old fisherman are not aware that there are rules in place when it comes to using Bream fish for bait in Alabama. Bream for bait can not be caught in a cast net and must be caught with a hook and line. Also an angler can not have in possession more than the daily creel limit of 50 no matter the size of Bream per person.

Down here in Central Alabama the Bream prefer crickets or small pieces of earthworms on a small panfish hook. Check out the video below of my son Tyler’s Alabama River Catfish.
