Ill usually be looking to fish a crawfish-colored crankbait that runs about 10 feet deep, but if you go to Arkansas and Missouri, some of those Ozark lakes, or even to Tennessee and Alabama, a lot of those lakes really seem to get a great jerkbait bite

They can be found foraging on algae or hiding between rocky reefs and crevices at a variety of depths, usually between 1 and 165 feet
