Hi there theangler,
I'm NOT a bigtime freshwater basser but love my calicos and sandies. Guys around me are. Has the lake experienced any fluctuation in level during spawn? If the beds are deep, they can do some extreme dating without spectators and being bothered. It's pretty hard to locate beds without doing some extensive mid-water work. If the lake is down, disaster could befall the spawn and the fish in transision.
Which ever after the spawn, the bass shouldn't be much good for a couple of weeks. You will probably catch small males at any time and if other fish are in the spawning mode the bass may stir from their wild party rest early.
Gotta be lookin' at the water temp too.
