guess the depth!

[bandrus1]

ok so we were running spoons of our boards with a 1 oz sinker 7 feet in front of them

 

anybody want to take a guess of their depth at 2.4 gps speed

[Fish Hunter]

5-7 ft?

[IUP30]

[bandrus1]

10 lb maxima 120 back

[BAZOOKAJOE]

[fitz67]

3-5

[IUP30]

10-12

[hawkeye625]

2-4

1 oz 50 feet in front of lure and 50 back from boat at that speed will be about 7 feet down. So id say with 113 back from the boat you would be about 10-11. Based on off shore snap weight data and the trollers bible...not a guess

Roughly 1oz/100'back =10'down

[Snitchols]

8-10'

If you have a Fish Hawk TD you could check it out for sure as well as the temp there.

More importantly , were you catching fish? If you weren't snagging bottom , who cares how deep it was.

yes I was and thats exactly why I want to know... there are a lot of other things (riggers, divers) that I would have known what depth they were running and catching fish

This is like being at the carnival

I had to read it twice.

Michigan stinger 1 OZ dive bombs are rated at 10-15. But they plane down.

[ray koziatek]

speed and what weight lure

[ray koziatek]

lure speed not gps

[bandrus1]

not to sure how to judge lure speed ray

I have fallen into the trap that I thought it was depth of the lure that was why I was catching fish on a certain thing.  It was more the presentation IMO.

 

 The spoon/wgt off the board w/ a 1oz wt was prob at 5' when it was on outside turn & up to 20 on inside .

 

 I feel guys try to be to exact w/ there lure depths. Fish can see a long way underwater.

Well some species on certain lakes precision depth control is everything! Like walleye here at otisco...if you are off by 2-3 feet either way nada! Speed, color, and presentation are also just as fussy...but thats walleye. Trout are much easier!

Was weaned on Walleye fishing years ago, and when we started fishing on the big lake, it seemed that the "fussyness" was gone.

Those Walleyes will not go, if things aren't just right.
