No -- there really is no challenge in fishing the beds. I will admit fishing them in 1984. Fun, but not very hard...just look for the shoals and gravel bottoms, throw a Texas rigged plastic, and BAM. My concern stems from the overall pressure on the bass -- with so many damn tournaments throughout the summer.
I was encouraged, however, to see a large number of very large smallmouths while on a dive last Saturday. Big, healthy fish in heavy concentrations (in a location that will remain nameless!).
Good luck,
