Jon, just my experience , no letters after my name , no expert here. Last year my upper ponds spawning area was absolutely socked in with a pond weed so tight ,I could hardly push my way through. But, get up on high ground and look down into the water and you could see trails cut through the Pond weed everywhere , interconnecting spawning circles every few feet. Love and/or Libido will always find a way. Sunfish are very persistent when spawning is concerned. I believe the experts will agree on their persistence in home making.
