[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 100790, member: 1305"] Those are very interesting. Your looking at 120 feet wide in 12 feet deep. Each hole looks to be around three feet wide by over a foot deep. Bluegills and smallmouths nest are similar but these seem too deep both in the depth of the nest itself and how deep the water is. They can and do make nests a foot deep but most times it's more like 6 inches or less and in under 6 feet of water unless the water is super clear. Then take into account this looks like mud and is ten degrees to cold to have them to wound up just yet to spawn. The SM will tend to spawn when the water gets to the upper 50's coinciding with a full moon. One easy way to find out is drop a jig down there if there SM nests you will be hooked up in seconds. Other then nest I have not seen this before outside of areas with current on the river and they are dug into hard clay often where the base of a dead tree came to rest for awhile.
