For me, my answer is no. They don’t all march up to their specific bed and spawn as a lot think. I’ve caught females ready to burst first week in June. Use your electronics and scan an area to see the level they’ve gravitated to and concentrate on that level. Use depth charts off the web to find the right amount of line out to get your brand of crank baits just above them. Another way I use is to use a 3oz inline sinker and let out enough to get it in their face.
