Re: Help ID Lake Sumter fish
Dear Cabo, I walk over and look at them everyday. I think they are bass nests. The grasses are full of fry. I've been calling them calico bass but I don't think they are. They have a calico coloration with the reddish color closer to the tails. The lake between the bridges is full of the circular nests. My house is between the two bridges I and love walking over late in the day to see the fish. Someone else said they were a carp but I see no barbels on the mouth area. I guess they could also be bluegill, redear sunfish or crappie, but my guess is bass.
