From what I understand, redears only spawn once a year .
Here in Georgia, bluegill will spawn every month until fall . With each month having fewer spawners.
The females lay the eggs and the. The males stay on the beds until the eggs hatch unless caught and kept .
The shallow spawners get caught early.
The deeper spawners used to be protected somewhat before the new electronics became available that allows those to be located .
