where to place a fishing bed

[boatn]

Hey guys. Great website. I’m a newbie and just leaning how to freshwater fish. I was thinking about putting in a fishing bed – like Bill Dance’s porcupine fish attractor – so that I can lean how to catch bass and the little ones can catch crappie and bluegill, but I was wondering about the proper placement. Should it rest on the bottom or should I place it at the height of the normal thermocline since supposedly bass don’t hang out below the thermocline. I boat on Lake of the Ozarks if that make any difference.
