You got that right tk. I will take to my grave the memory of me last year having 5 Shell Cracker beds in sight not 2 feet from the bank...in crystal clear water.......at VFW Lake and I worked those beds for hours and couldn't even get them to pick up anything to move it out of the bed. That was a fisherman's nightmare...seeing Red Ear 12 to 15 inches long and couldn't do anything about it. They war so focused on what they were doing that when I would walk up to the bed they would not even spook. Very frustrating.
