How far back?

[Captsmate]

I'll be running J plug this year in September early September I'm wondering how far back from the ball should they be. Also I'm going to try the Dodger with the fly how far back do you think they should be from the ball

35 to  75 +  for j plugs 

 

Shallow ,farther back 

 

Deeper can be closer 

 

Mid day doldrums , run it back 125 ft 

 

Look for them mid day on  bottom  at 50 to   90 ft 

 

Run weights 7 to 10 ft off bottom to account for dive  of plugs . 

 

I run my flashers 25 to 35 but no bites on calm seas bright day I have run them  back 80 ft to get a hit . Works sometimes .

Hes probably referring to the kings not feeding, in essence you gotta just piss the mature kings off for a bite
