Thanks for the info. Last weekend on Sunday between 3pm and 6pm I managed 3 fish in 80 feet of water, down 60 (2 kings and 1 big brown) all on the same NBK (between 80 and 150 fow I was able to see the thermocline on the graph). On Sat, I went out, dropped the gear, and figured I would let the massive storm go between me and shore. That ended up blowing up big so I pulled the gear in less than 1 hour and was back at the dock. When fuel is $5.28 a gallon and you burn 1 gallon a mile knowing how deep you need to be is very good knowledge. Off Ibay and Rochester takes forever to get to 400 - 600 feet of water and when you are fishing solo 10 to 15 miles out and if you don't need to run all the way out that makes for a great day. This weekend is another opportunity for all of us.

Thanks guys.  It seems that 150-200 fow range has been decent lately N or NE of I-Bay.
