    Ya, those look more like Bluegill beds rather then Bass beds.

    Yup

    Bass beds are normally separated by several feet of territory.

    Bluegill sunfish normally nest in colonies with beds separated by inches.

    Active beds look the opposite as those shown; should be clean light color center areas with darker surrounding bottom area. When you see a colony of beds, it's not bass.

    No so in all cases. It depends on the soil type. The photo I posted was taken on May 11, 2014 after the first bass spawn. Two weeks earlier there was no sign of them, not even with Imaging.

    The screen shots are amazing and good photo's. Rarely see dark bed centers with bass or bluegill, in fact the cleanest and sweet spot is usually a lightest colored pebbles, depending on the type of lake bottom.

    I've only seen a few area's with bass beds in the lakes I fish in southern New England. I'm totally confused as to why. I'm not the only bass fisherman reporting this.
