I am rewarded with the occasional YP this way, too. Both species seem to be more benthic in their foraging patterns.

[Yeah, I DID just employ the term benthic, and I'm all shades of impressed with myself. Benthic, incidentally, also describes the location tendecies of JHAP when he takes off his water wings in the pool.]
