    I don't even know what you mean by 'ledges'.

    Oh, been getting some suspended about 6'-8' in 15' - 25' feet of water. They move around some, but if I'm patient...

    I catch a lot of bluegill in open water 10 or 12' deep, but don't start looking until the fall.

    I look for some kind of cover or structure like weeds or trees. most of the fish we catch in deeper water are off of weed beds. just jig in and above the weeds. Also use small spoons tipped with nightcrawler when they go deeper.

    I use a 1/80 oz. fly as we callem in TN. or hair jigs as there called elsewhere. Sometimes i will use 2 about a foot and 2 foot above a split shot on a dropshot rig. Can fish deep pretty easy that way.
