Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Bluegill spawning beds in pond with water shield

My 1 acre pond is fairly well encircled with water shield (like lilly pads), with dense undergrowth to the bottom. In other words, no visible sand anywhere in the shallows.

Will the bluegill still be able to find beds to spawn in?

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.
