Fishing The Beds Pros and Cons By Ronald F. Dodson, Ph.D. In general Charlie felt that fishing for bedding fish would not negatively impact a lake. There are several reasons for this assumption. For starters even in a clear-water lake there are, in theory, a large number of bass that should spawn and never be subject to fishing pressure by being found by the fisherman. The exception here is if the lake is very small or there is extensive repetitious pressure in a small area. Those conditions can put real stress on the spawning population by having them either selectively removed if people catch and keep the spawning bass or simply put the bass under repetitious physiological shock from multiple harassment or hook sets. https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/spawning_bass_bed.html have public access to some lakes smaller than 200 acres ... some smaller than 100 acres ... 50 acres ... good fishing ...
