My best advice would be to use your long pole and start to pattern them. Right now I am catching them in 8-10 ft of water usually about five foot down off of structure. From what I can tell they are in a transition right now with the weather. I am catching quite a few males shallow with their tales broken up which tells me they are building beds for the spawn. The females I am catching are deeper and the eggs are not very veiny so I think we are two weeks out from great fishing pending the weather pattern. We are still pretty early for the spawn but keep at it and you will find them, just remember when you catch them what depth, water temp, color jig, and structure type and you will be successful. Good luck and be safe!
