Firstly, I'm really pumped to see this forum up. Secondly I grew up catching bream on Bankhead where it's so easy it's almost unfair when finding huge beds and catching 70 or 80 keepers in a couple hours. While I love doing that from time to time I'm wanting to catch some the huge 'gills and Shellcrackers that are in Smith Lake. I cannot find a bream bed there. I've done a lot of searching for them and it seems like they bed so deep that you can't see them there. I've even seen some lockjawed shellcrackers that were probably well over 2 pounds cruising around my family's dock there. Question is this; where would I target shellcrackers in such deep water? Points around 20' deep on bottom? Any advice would greatly appreciated.
