They spawn in deep water. Varies depending on how deep the lake is but its nothing to catch 100's of beds in 15ft of water where bream like to bed shallow.

It seems like its around may before the chinquapins start bedding up . It seems like its usually white perch , bass , carp , buffalo , catfish and then chinquapins in that order

Chinquapin

Most beds I've seen have been in shallow water...sometime you can see fins above water. Usually start bedding around good Friday so start looking

The only times I've caught the spawners was like right now. And they were always shallow. I know it was before district baseball started, cause we had to work around tournaments t go. This was in Black Bayou in Monroe. Rest of the time I just stumble on em a little deeper while bream fishing. Got into em pretty good in Cotile a few times in like 8 foot, out from the bluegill beds.

Totally different meat and look than a bream. RedEar sunperch is only other name ive heard.
They are hella fun to catch fly fishing. They get hugeee

Black bayou has a chinquapin (sp) point in 4th lake if you can still get to it...

Didnt know they did both, of course Ive only done it one way never looked for them shallow. Always catch my bluegill spawning shallow but not them. Good to know.

When I have no time to do anything but a short trip, I'm going to hit that flat at Kincaid. That place has the biggest ones I've ever seen not at Lake Havasu.

Yeah like I said look in shallows ...air bubbles in water, fins on top of water...crawfish,grass shrimp are best bait....if you see them in shallows and they won't bit... take off cork and tightline them

I catch them on anything i throw in spillway.

I thought the bream was a generic term for fish of that general shape while bluegill/redear/shellcracker/chinquapin etc were specific names.
Kind of like bass can refer to largemouth, smallmouth, Kentucky, striped, white, etc.
Oh well, I call them bream and they are starting to spawn.

When I say bream, I never mean to include chinqs.

And worms and crickets for us too. We got a little over 700 off of two beds one year at toledo in 14' of water. Talk about some good eating.

I know your point, and when having a convo with a less intelligent outdoors person, everthing is a bream. But with close buddies we get specific.
Also, anyone have name for the real light colored bream? Looks exactly like bluegill except they never get big and no coloration. I wish i had a pic.
