how to find bream beds in rivers

[ragansm1]

Caught some big bream in the suwannee river. They were full of roe. Thinking the full moon they should try to bed. Found beds in lakes but never rivers. Do they bed on sand bars, shoals or where? Anybody know where to look?

I usually search sloughs over here on the ocklocknee, looking for sandy or not very muddy bottom in 3-6 ft of water. Holes in lillypads, or opening between pads and structure are good. The slack water behind sand bars are good too.
