Shellcracker bedding

Could anyone tell me if shellcracker bed the same as bluegill? Do they make potholes like bluegill?

Yes they make the potholes.....and yes they will bed same time as Gills....but are known to bed a few weeks before Gills go on bed.

They are on beds in north Texas now and have been a couple of weeks I think or longer

They look just like Gill beds but will be full of shells. Pea gravel and sand hold tons of them around here.

Thanks for the help! I've been hunting for them.

What are you guys thoughts on Moon Phase. Do they start on a Full Moon Or New Moon or it doesn't matter?

I fished the new moon just last week and the full moon last month. I've caught them on both.

They will on occasion be intermixed with Bluegill or have beds just adjacent to them. If it's a really good spawn spot they will both try to use it.
