When Will the Bream and Shellcrackers Start Bedding ?

What month do the bream and shellcrackers usually start bedding on the local rivers, especially on the Choctawhatchee River ?

Any suggestions on techniques, best areas to fish, best baits to use, ect.

Thanks for your time and good fishin'

I usually start catching them on the bed around the first full moon in april. I perfer crickets but if youre on a bed it really doesnt matter much. some people do find the beds in march though.
