As pointed out by DWR Virginia regional fisheries biologist Chad Boyce in that five-year-old post, "There is really not a single spawn that takes place in the spring. Bass will spawn generally throughout the summer, and it's not unusual at all to see fish on beds in June.
"However, individual bass do not spawn multiple times each year. Rather, there are fish that will wait and spawn after the main spawn takes place.
"Fish with bloody tails don't always signify spawning activity. It could mean they were on a substrate that was rough and caused abrasions on their tails. It's really hard to say for sure, but I often do see tails roughed up throughout the summer time," concluded Boyce.
