I have broods in three phases of development as of yesterday. Some are in nest still as eggs. Some are swimming in middle of water column as larvae. I also have large brood that has already hit fry stage that is swimming just below the surface. What is interesting is the larger spotted bass fry are not swimming just below like the largemouth do. Spotted bass broods should bust up real soon while largemouth could go a couple more weeks.
