some spots here the big ones go really deep in the summer months , like flat out on the bottom in brushy areas ....
one spot here they sit up on the surface at night under lights in really deep water too ....
not sure there but they vacate the beds for the most part after the first spawn here and return in lower numbers off and on thru out the summer .....
I would tend to think they are on the bottom there at the base of some steep drop offs , drop shot a worm to them along those fast drop offs to the bottom of the drop off.....my guess ...
