>>682727Worth noting is that other fish do the bed-building too. Here is a picture of a bluegill bed I managed to find online. So the floor of the waters you're fishing also need to be conducive to bed-building. Flat, solid rock isn't likely to be a spawning ground versus more silty/sandy areas. Calm, protected areas are preferable as well. If there is some nearby structure, small rocks, or vegetation that the bass can sweep a bed into they'll use it over some place more exposed to predators or rough water that could wash their bed (and the eggs they contain) away.
