Building Spawning beds

Today I went out on an 18 acre lake and the bass are building beds. Water temp was 68-69 in places. Made for a fun day as far as numbers go. I caught at least 60 bass in 3 hours (lost count) and both thumbs were bleeding. Odd thing is everything i read says the big ones often come up to spawn 1st but I never saw or hooked anything over 4 lbs. They were spanking a spinnerbait near the shore/weeds/cover. I did probe the depths outside the traditional spawning ares but couldnt hook the big one. I caught 3 large (9-11″) bluegill- 2 on a 5/16 oz spinnerbait and one on a dt 6 bluegill color. Not sure what effect this cold front will have on them. Next full moon cycle could be a fun one if the weather ever straightens out.

I saw a few beds on Sugema last weekend but not too many. The weeds have really taken over the lake and the water is real clear. This may be the first time we could see beds let alone fish them. We will probly get a big rain this week and mess it all up.

Was down on Lake Fork a couple of weeks ago and we were bed fishing deep beds. You could hardly see the beds but the bigger fish were there. I will be looking harder at deep beds this year.
