We had a smallie on a bed right next to our dock last weekend. On Sunday, another appeared, and they spent the day swimming in a tight circle on the bed, apparently doing the bass-procreation thing. It was pretty cool to watch. We spent the rest of that day and Monday morning keeping an eye out for any bass boats that might want to shoot the proverbial fish in a barrel. Too bad for that bass -- nest location was not optimal. We have a crib dock, and there are lots of potential egg & fry predators lurking beneath -- including sunnies and catfish. The bed lies about four feet from the edge of the crib, so guarding it will be a daunting task.
