Like birds (males anyway) in mating plumage, it's the spawning look.

The females don't come in and stay like the males, they move in and out dropping a few eggs each trip. But usually they are not too far away, most of the time on the 1st closest break.

Steve Perfect answer.  Yep they travel more than folks think. When you do find 'em where they are traveling to then you can pick them off one by one with patience.
