The bluegills I observed on beds were in a very large BOW. My pond is almost 1/4 acre I would assume. I guess it’s possible but I haven’t seen any fry. I have tons of fat head minnow fry. My pond is sand base so I would assume the beds would be easily spotted. I did notice two back in March in deep water but appeared to be abandoned at the time. We did have a small front come in and I assumed it may have disrupted things. My daytime highs are in the low 80s and lows in the high 60s.
I only have 11 HSB and they aren’t very big. Also only a few small numbers of piscivore type cichlids. I don’t believe any in numbers to eliminate all BG fry. I am excited for them to spawn.
