I don't even look for them anymore. I can see more harm than good pulling them off the bed in this state compared to Florida or other more Southern states.

Living in Florida we fished for them alot but you could pull up into an area and see beds everywhere and that was awesome. I mean hundred yard areas loaded with spawning bass. Here you very seldom see that kind of spawn going on.

Would rather catch pre-spawn and post spawn anyway....more fun.
