My wife and I used to catch pretty respectable numbers of them in the fall of the year. That was when we lived and fished in Southern Indiana. October was a good month to catch them in 12ft of water, usually in a depression or hump area on the lake bottom.

Now that I've moved down here to Kentucky Lake/Lake Barkley, we only find them in April and May. I've heard of them being caught down here in October by other people. I need to spend more time this fall targeting them in the 12-20ft water depths around mouths of bays, creek channels, mussel beds etc. They've got to feed up for the winter. The one's in Indiana would literally crap all over you when caught in the fall...
