I've seen about 10 occupied beds so far but they have all been occupied by dinks (1-2lbs) More power to you live bait fishermen but the only time I'll use live/dead bait is for icefishing and the occasional trip north for walleye and perch. Other than that nothing beats catching a lunker on artificial! As for bed fishing I use the exact same tactics as Josh but I usually start with a lizard just because they have worked the best in the past for me.
