Generally speaking? Read an article from here l searched on the web. With an exception during spawning. 
 

 “ In general, smaller fish are far more affected by water and weather changes than large ones because they reside in shallow water, where water temperatures change first and most dramatically. Larger fish living in deeper zones will not be affected by water temperature and weather changes until the change reaches their area. This can be longer than what it takes to do so in shallower water. “

It is a false assumption to assume big bass only live in deep water and small bass only in shallow water.  I have caught double digit Florida bass in 4 feet of water in August. Here's one I caught in Little Lake Harris.

Small bass and big bass live in both shallow water, medium depth water, and deep water as deep as they can go above the thermocline.....
