A 3 acre retention pond in North Florida. We have had some strange weather the past few months Temps ranging from 85 to 19 degrees. I have checked the water Temps recently & they have been in the 50 to 60 degree range. I saw the males bedding in January & thought it was a bit early. The spawning last year was in early March. Last week I saw two males in different bedding areas swimming back & forth in a 12 foot area as if they were guarding that spot but not in the spawning bed protection manner. I have read about it, but never seen the protective behavior of the male LMB after the swim up by the fry. I then saw a cloud of fry. The male remained in deeper water patroling back & forth protecting that cloud of young. I am sure the other LMB was doing the same but I was not sharp enough to see his cloud of fry.
