Not for anything but I was interested in the feedback here myself because I have always wondered the same thing...
I cant prove this on a prof. level but from my experience I tend to find that BASS big or small will follow the bait fish....And depending on the conditions ie: wind/sun/changing current the fish can be found in multiple places and any given time of the day...
The second thing I found when I have cought larger fish after finding them was how something as simple as one tiny branch sticking out of the water was where they decided to hold...
I agree with the comments that bass do like to feel safe and need a position that allows them a quick escape route to deeper water when threatened or spooked...
So I would suggest finding an area where the bait fish seem to be in abundance and looking for something that a fish could hold on and working it really well...Sometime 15-20 casts to the same twig or branch is needed to get that one strike!!
But last time I checked I wasnt weighting in at the Bass Master Classic so take this all with a grain of salt!!
Good Luck!!
