Seems fish get laid once a year. How is it that they are beating me?

What is the distance between the area where the eggs were laid, and location of the substrate dig?

They are within a foot to three feet. They also move them at least once daily. So you would see multiple holes after 3 or more days after the eggs are laid. It's probably done to confuse predators or clean the wigglers of accumulating dirt.

Sometimes the medicine is worst than the cure. This might be one example of this.

Hey Bassjedi,
what kind of fish is that you are holding in your avatar ?

 

[lizardfishman]

would they attack ur hand if u stuck it into thier nest? all ways wanted to see just how aggressive they get when spawning.

also, after you catch a spawning pbass. they go right back to the nest unlike lmb.



btw, the fish in his avatar is a rooster fish.

Never had a problem with either of the pair attacking my hand. Actually, they clear out of the area when I approach and watch from a "safe" distance. They go right back when I leave. However, they will attack other fish or fishing lures, big or small.
