Sounds likes you already know where to look. After they are done bedding still fish around the bedding area......just move out to deeper water. Mussel shells cause me to stop and have a look...no matter the size....and usually those areas pay off for me. How they bed depends on the lake. Ive seen them have their beds in 2 feet of water and the bed be right up next to the bank. I also find they bed in coves....off points...sandy areas, and in places that hold pea gravel.
