I bed fish very little anymore, for a couple of reasons:

1) I'm not always free to fish during the best times (full moon.)

2) The fish just get hammered at that time of year. Everybody's fishing for them.

My best fishing is almost always after the spawn. Most people ignore them once the spawn is done, which means I have them mostly to myself.
