I caught them everywhere! from 6' to 18'. Without the thermocline and 80 degree water they are everywhere. not be so vague, but it did not matter. we caught them on top of the brush, at the bottom of the brush, and even just out in the ocean when the boat was out of control! I know, im the only one that has a boat of control on the TM from time to time, but it does happen! find the wood and you have found the fish!
