[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 220621, member: 337"] I often find the larger fish are shallower - much, much shallower. My theory is that large fish that no longer have to be afraid of getting eaten go where they want when they want. When the 10-25 ft range is chock full of "rug rats" I think the larger fish go grocery shopping up shallow where there's no competing rug rats to deal with (getting the prey paranoid). And the rug rats are afraid to go with because they could end up on the menu. The nice thing about fishing shallow is that the fish up there are there for a reason - they seem almost angry about things. I love the savagery of the shallow fish. Just a theory - it's probably all in my head. [/QUOTE]
