Best Answer

Not in the usual term of "Bottom Feeder", like a catfish is. They are predators and will feed wherever the food is. Sometimes it's shallow water at the surface where minnows are. Sometimes it's at the bottom where crayfish (crawdads) are. They tend to ambush their prey from behind rocks, logs, etc.

no way some people like them and some don't. i don't like them because they are bottom feeders (Bass are NOT bottom feeders. Bass eat smaller fish, crayfish, ducklings, frogs, mice or any other critter that falls in or lives in the water. Bass are predators, not bottom feeders like Catfish, Carp or Tilapia.
