Also, Matt Straw has a good bream article in the latest In-Fisherman.

Here's a quote from the article:

In the large bay I visit every spring, anglers using slipbobbers fish in boats along the shorelines.... But those shoreline-oriented anglers are missing out. Every year I find prespawn crappies and 'gills so far out and away from shore that you need to mark spots with GPS.

This my experience exactly. I find nice gills suspended over deeper water almost year round, and I have them all to myself.

I agree , those points that have 1ft. -20 ft.(somewhere on it) will be good all year . Below 20 ft. and temps over 90 degrees fish tend to be 10-15 ft. . jmo I don't fish much where there is over 25-30 ft. deep .
