    Default Bream quality at Santee

    I've noticed over the past 5 years that the copperhead breams aren't as plentiful and big as they once were.The majority titty breams people catch nowadays are shellcrackers.Is anyone noticing this trend also?

    They are thick as they have ever been as long as I’ve lived here.

    Most people Shellcracker fish simply because they are easy to catch.

    Bluegills prefer deeper water and Sandy bottom to spawn. You’re not gonna find em in the woods as well as you will Shellcracker.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
