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.
Bass is a name shared by many different species of fish. The term encompasses both freshwater and marine species. All belonging to the large order Perciformes, or perch-like fishes, and in fact the word bass comes from Middle English bars, meaning "perch."
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. Bass are excellent fighters, and are good to eat as well. Every fish tastes different and some people like them and some do not).

You can fish rapalas on rock beds and in deeper water, where you will find bass suspended. It is most effective bouncing them off of the rock bottom and retrieving it slow.
