When do bream spawn in louisiana

Talk about impatience and being patient. Robbie Johnson was on The Causeway earlier this week and started out jigging pilings on the north end knowing he might have been a bit impatient in hitting the mile span a little too early in the season.

The full moon and the new moon bring abnormally high tides. Fish on spawning migrations seem to expect these tides, waiting near estuaries for them so they can pass over tidewater obstructions that are otherwise insurmountable.

Fish see lures and baits easier during the full moon, and baitfish seem to travel more actively then. All this means that extra-good saltwater fishing can be expected during the high halves of tides when the moon is full and when the moon shows a thin crescent. There are no tides in our freshwater bream lakes, however. So the effects of the moon must have their basis in a differing set of physical factors, if indeed there is any effect at all.

But thousands of ardent bream anglers will tell you otherwise. I suggest you find out for yourself. The full moon will be on June 20 this year. The crescent of the new moon will appear June 5. Go fishing then, and fish some other days outside these periods as well. When all is said and done, compare the results.
