Homecoming Queen,

When a fish wallows out a hollow in a shallow shoreline and lays eggs in it, it's called a "bed".

Hence, the bass, bream, or whatever are "bedding" or "on the bed".

Some fish, like shad, herring, and salmon, simply lay the eggs on the stream "bed", the males ferment them, and on they go.

Those eggs hatch sometimes a long way from where they are "laid".

All this talk about "beds" and "laid" making you horny?

Really,

Just Kidding.


Have fun,
Phil

Edit: Not kidding about the fish.

Hey Bullrider, explain to ksquared that we're talking about spawning beds or 'Baby Fish Delivery Room's' so she doesn't think we're kinky guys trying to get a fish in bed with us. I know, go wash my mouth out with Lye soap!

K2, when bass spawn, the female uses her fins to scoop out an area on the bottom of the stream or lake, then lays her eggs in that "bed." The male then fertilizes the eggs and will take over guarding the nest (spawning bed) until the young bass hatch. He will usually then take a swipe through the young and eat some. Interesting evolutionary thing. Population control?
Hope this helps.
