    Default depth of fish


    I wanted to know what depth you fish the most according to your lakes. I bet I fish more in the 20-30 than any other depth. Of course when the fish spawn, that changes, but most often I stay in 20-30 even during the spring unless they are on the bed.

    I would also like to know how your color selection changes with depth. I worry less about color in 30 feet than I do in 10 feet simply before of the amount of light present. Plus, I use minnow more in deep water than I do in shallow.

    I fish most in 20-40', but lots of times I'm only fishing 10-20' deep -

    I put down that I fish 10 to 20 ft because I fish a lot in the 15 to 18 ft range. But I really wished there was a choice for 15 to 25 ft, because that is the range I normally fish expect the spawn.

    I didn't word it well. I really wanted depth of water. My favorite depth is 22 feet. I seem to catch more fish when my depth finder reads 22 than any other depth on my home lakes.

    I'm in the 10 ' and less, but it is more like 5' to 15' and that is because my home lake is muddy most of the time. Even in the winter time I'm at this depth range.

    I voted 10-20 but that is fishing depth. I fish in 20-45 deep water even in the spring. I stay in the staging areas.
