I found another "set" of nests 15-20 feet away from the first. The only fish anywhere near them over about a 45 minutes period tonight were two medium-sized (for my pond) LMB in the 15" length range - one at each set of nests.

Could a bass-crowded pond be so full of breeding LMB that some are forced to move into very shallow water to nest?
