More, ahem, testing today. Shellcracker females still full of eggs, but more bluegill seem to be moving onto beds, I can see them on sonar, and the big bulls are biting, and need to "go", if you give them a little squeeze. Today was very windy, so I looked for beds in a new part of the lake where wind was sheltered, and found a few. Kept a couple bull males for my supper, released all else, including a bunch of shorties.
