    Hey guys,  got out fishing here in Dupage county thursday,  looks like the bass have finally gotten around to spawning.  Saw lots of small males guarding nests,  all very agressive,  no females,  figure they have all moved deep already.  Also saw a nice catfish raiding bluegill beds!  Just figured i would put out an update for all those of you who havent been out in a while.

    I am a few miles north of DuPage and have yet to see any evidence of spawning. Could it be possible you saw males building nests and the females haven't arrived yet?

    I'm a couple hours south of you and the males are busy building nests. The females should be coming in a few days. My daughter caught 16 in a matter of an hour or so. The largest being around 17 inches, but the average was around 14 inches.

    They've been spawning here in MI for about two weeks.
