I caught a whopper today. A hog of a Redear.
They are just starting to hang around a massive bedding spot not far from my house. I will go out again tomorrow after my Doctors appointment. I'm hoping they will be more agitated into biting. I know there is a shit ton of fish there, but horny fish don't like to eat, they do bite to chase off rivals.
Spawning Habits
Bluegills are well known for "bedding" in large groups, with their circular beds touching one another. Bedding occurs in water two to six feet deep over sand, shell or gravel, and often among plant roots when the bottom is soft. Spawning occurs from April through October with the peak in May and June, when water temperature rises to about 78-80 degrees. A female may lay 2,000 to 63,000 eggs, which hatch 30 to 35 hours after fertilization.
