I have mentioned a few times about my friend having a quarry that is now a 30 acre lake. he was diving yesterday and saw active res beds at 21 ft. he measured a few others at 23 ft with no fish. he said he was face to face with them and could easily see the red ear. he plans to get his go pro down there and video. i had no idea they would spawn that deep.

there is a local reservoir here on the chattachoochee that is very small. when they generate electricity the water level fluctuates several ft. i have been told fish spawn really deep there to survive.

i wonder if it is the really clear water or temp that drives them deep in the quarry.
