Theo, Yes bass nests are typically located in deeper water of 3'-5'. However I've seen bass create nests and spawn in 2' of water. Most probably your new nests are produced by BG, but it is still pretty early in the central OH season for BG to be building nests. Sometimes bass will build a couple nests before they decide on a final location. You will have best luck seeing the nest builder at morning - mid-day to early afternoon.
