Thought this might be a fun thread... what are the oddest things you've seen a bass spawning on?
Some funny ones that come to mind for me:
a beer can (original coors in the gold can mind you) an aerobee frisbee truck tires, seen this more than once
Fishing a tourney with Lake once we were jamming around a dock and they had some steps that went into the water on the end of the dock. He literally dropped his bait straight down on to the 2nd step in about a foot and a half of water as we went by on high speed and a second later a 3lber came flying into the boat! We got a good laugh on that one, I'm sure the fish was spawning there.

Sunken lawn chair out on the Delta, one of the white plastic kind. The fish stuck out like a sore thumb. One spring break at clear lake we caught fish all over the lake on stairs going into the water.

This will be a good thread, heres a couple that come to mind
dolphin for lower units on boats in side there slips at a large marina. This was actually a half azz pattern. I saw 3 boats with the dolphin and they all have fish on em and they were the only boats that had fish. Keep in mind they were suspended over 40-60ft.
How about on a bed :+ actually a water logged box spring for a mattress in the keys. You know that fish was all singing "chilln at the holiday inn"

In one of the bigger spawning coves at LMV, it seriously looks like someone made a place for fish to bed intentionally. The last 3 years in a row there has a been a male in the middle of this ring of half-submerged tires. It's a full circle of tires in like 4 feet of water. It looks like the fish is holding up in a fort. Other than that, I've seen them spawning on a shopping cart and on a washer, both in LMV. Funny fish.

Patio chairs, sunken tires, a Rambo Knife (no joke one of those big ass knives that say Rambo on them) Sheet of plywood, plastic PVC pipe and cement pipes and weighted discs on bouys.
