mine is usually about 4ft down. there are times it was 15ft down though. depends on where the bait/fish are holding in your lake. cant help you with wire. I have seen guys make them from extension cords.
how far under the water should one hang the lights? MY FIRST SET WAS USING 18 GAUGE WIRE. FOUND IT WAS TOO
WEAK. WHAT GAUGE SHOULD BE USED?

If you want to make your own I would add a stress relief connector

14 gauge should be fine to use or like river scum said just use a electric cord

From what I've seen in videos on folks making them, the wire should be around 14-16 gauge...

How long before fish show up typically?
Do y’all stay and wait or leave em and come back ?

Greenline you stay long enough for the bait fish come in. After the bait fish come in should be catching fish within 30 minutes. Do not leave a place and try to come back you would have to start back over. If good quantity of bait not present you won't catch but very few crappie.

Is it best to stay put because you spook them when you move the boat back in ?
