Beer. I went bream-fishing this evening in the backyard and cold beer goes well with crickets and night-crawlers.

The bream haven't gone on the bed in my pond yet. Usually it's the first full moon in May but we had some lingering cold weather. I think they will light up after the next full moon (Sunday, I think).

An old-timer told me the bream bed when the center of a dogwood blossom gets the size of a squirrels ear. I'm monitoring and will report.
