This may be a stupid question but I don't learn if I don't ask questions. I'd like to be able to find Shellcrackers on the lake I fish. (Guntersville) I find bluegill often and occasionally find some shellcrackers mixed in. I'd like to find them when they are on the bed or not. I know what they typically feed on so here's the question. When I find areas that have mussel shells on the banks, would that be an obvious good spot to try to find them? I'm sure they don't eat larger mussels but if there are larger mussel shells on the bank, I'd imagine that the mussels are living and reproducing in that spot, so there would be small mussels there too? I know I'd need to look for harder bottoms, or sandy bottoms to find them also. Those areas aren't as common as they use to be. I do know where 4 or 5 spots are where mussel shells are on the edge of the bank.
