None are currently on bed. Have fished this pond for two years, 2 - 3 times per month. Only ever caught one good one (2 weeks ago on a swim jig with craw trailer) . Catch 1 pounders on trick worm or small crawfish crank bait. Can see some on sonar and they are hovering in 8' to 15' of water about 2 - 3 ft. off bottom. Pond was surveyed last year and 40 big ones stunned, caught, measured, and released. And that was only the shallow area. Tried the bluegill beds, but never with a lizard. Will give that a go. Live and fish in Birmingham. Thanks.

Fish a 17 acre pond that has bluegill and largemouth (22 feet deep). Auto fish feeders keep the bluegill fed. There are a lot of lunkers in this pond but very rare to get a strike. Have never seen the bass chasing the bluegill, but seems it has to be a natural food source. Have tried all types of bluegill lures, swim baits, jigs and it is very hard to get them to strike artificial lures. Any suggestions ?
