chuck if your trying to catch pre-spawn or post spawn i'd say try the deeper outside edges like everyone else has mentioned, if your still trying to find one on a bed, i'd look for shallow water with a hard bottom where sunlight can get thru, the females here are starting/trying to go one bed, i would think yours would have laid out by now, if so, the smaller male bass will be up gaurding the fry, the best bait i have ever used on bedding fish is a 3" tube or a little 4" lizard thrown right into the beds..


kinda depends on what stage of the spawn your at[&:]

pre-spawn, what josh said

BTW, what is the water temp????
