Question: Spawning Bass On Beds??

[mlsjs2]

Hey guys,

i went out today and did some fishing..it was 56 degrees or so in Pa. here...no bait fish to be found and the lake seemed dead.

Anyways, while walking along the shoreline i noticed a bass in maybe 8 inches of water literally 1 foot from the shoreline just sitting still assuming protecting her nest. So i go to entice a bite..first i toss a Zoom Trick worm close but didnt want to spook the bass no go..couldnt get the bass to chase it. repeated this 2 or 3 times but couldnt get her to chase it. So i make a pitch literally in front of the bass's face assuming the bass will scurry off instead the bass hammers it and i landed it.

Did this one more time today except on a zoom Speed Craw..

are spawning bass always that inactive? i mean i couldnt entice the bite until i was literally inches away from her bed. Could this still just mean the water is cold and they are inactive? Cuz that bass was so lazy she wasnt going to move a foot for that lure.
