thanks for the info. Love those shellcrackers!!
I posted about a trip I had Tuesday in the bream forum. I caught them in a foot of water you could see them actually take the bait.
I caught a lot but they were not actually on bed. I caught some huge ones last year but it was towards the end of may.
On May 7, this is what I saw in a cove near the mid section of Guntersville Lake.Attachment 202270Quote:

I am really interested in hearing from all of you as to what is going on here.
There on beds on Wilson Lake
Tadpole, do you happen to have a daughter named Amy?
I have watched several hundred beds before they we're cleaned and go back 4-5 days later and they be cleaned with only a few fish around but have yet to figure them out .do they do they lay and be gone that quick?
I was wading and catching Shellcrackers and notice they would expand their gills to make theme look bigger when another fish would approach the beds.Quote:
