Hey Jim...did you get a water temperature? That will often tell a large part of the story. But like the other guys said, bass will be active before gills are throughout the spring progression. Is your lake spring fed?...maybe holding temperatures down a bit from other local waters. Also, is the water clear or stained? Did you fish the northeast and northwest sections of the lake? Usually those areas warm up quicker in the spring. Good Luck!

George, I am certain that you are correct in your view that the bluegill have not bedded yet. Still is a bit odd that we couldn't find a couple of strays. Thanks for the reply and good fishing.

Jim- I don't know the situations in Nebraska,but here in Michigan the Bass spawn just before the Gills do. The Bass you were catching might have been bedding and on the muscle due to that.The local lake I fish has not had the Gills bed yet but I have seen bedding Bass around the shore line.Better luck next time out !!<br />
