Theo it looks like a rolling lepomis spawn this year with peaks and simi-valleys both on BG and RES. Something has been spawning continuously since the full moon in March. We still have some RES spawning 2 1/2 mth after they started. We have beds where they never were before. All of this increase is due to adding CNBG and RES as noted above.

Bruce those copper bars and fin edges stand out much more in the water than out. I see them long before I see the RES earflaps. You would think that makes them more subject to predation from birds , but who knows what birds see.
