Never have spent much time searching in those depths but I am sure they are out there. Graph wise, I would suspect you will see them in the bottom 2 feet, with the bottom foot more likely. I use down imaging to located them and it works great compared to traditional sonar.

Pretty much what Jeff said. Same thing you usually look for - fish hugging bottom. Down imaging works nicely

A lot of water to cover out deeper, but when you find them it's almost always a lot of nice sized spawners
