Fishing With Bread – CHEAP and EASY Way To Catch Fish
Ever thought about fishing with bread? It’s a cheap, easy bait that’s been hooking fish for ages, and I’m putting it to the test from the bank. I tried two setups: bread on the bottom and under a float with an ultralight spinning rig, hoping for Catfish or anything else. No Catfish today—tried a hotdog too—but Bluegill loved the bread, and I landed some nice-sized ones. If you’re out of worms or can’t swing live bait, grab some bread and hit the shore for a fun day.
The ultralight float setup was key for those Bluegill, keeping things simple and budget-friendly. Even without Catfish, the bread pulled in solid fish, proving you don’t need fancy bait to make it work. Spring’s winding down, but bank fishing with stuff from your pantry’s a game-changer for beginners. Tried bread for fishing yet? What’s your go-to cheap bait?
Bread Fishing Breakdown:
- Bread on Float: Caught nice-sized Bluegill.
- Bottom Rig: No bites, but worth a try.
- Hotdog Attempt: Struck out—Bluegill preferred bread.

TRY THIS RIG When The Fish Won’t Bite (Even Fishing In The RAIN)
When fish won’t bite, even in the rain, my Realistic Fishing Desperation Rig saves the day. I started with two finesse Ned Rigs—ultralight setups with a minnow imitator and a worm. The minnow got one Bluegill, but the worm flopped. Switched to the Desperation Rig—a 1-inch Gulp Minnow, small jig head, and weighted cigar float—and bam, big Bluegill started hitting. Even as spring fishing slows, this rig’s the clear winner for bank anglers.
Fishing in the rain’s tough, but the Desperation Rig turned a slow day into a win with those hefty Bluegill. The finesse Ned Rigs didn’t cut it this time, showing you’ve got to adapt when the bite’s off. This ultralight setup’s simple, cheap, and perfect for beginners fishing from shore. What’s your backup plan when the fish just aren’t biting?

Tips for Spring Shore Fishing
- Fish with Bread: Cheap pantry bait like bread catches Bluegill—rig it on a float or bottom for budget-friendly fun.
- Use the Desperation Rig: A 1-inch Gulp Minnow on a float rig hooks big Bluegill when other lures fail, rain or shine.
- Downsize for Tough Bites: If bigger lures bomb, go finesse with ultralight rigs to get panfish biting.
- Target Key Spots: Cast near docks, weeds, or structure where Bluegill gather in late spring.
- Respect Other Anglers: Don’t block docks if boats need in. Boaters, give shore anglers space—you can fish spots they can’t, so move down to keep everyone casting happily.
