I caught most of my fish in 40 to 45 on the spoon plus or minus a few feet depending on the break and the meter markings or lack of. I am a vanilla type of guy with the jig. I use black or brown and try to keep the trailer in the black or black and blue or brown or brown and orange. Those are my pork colors and I use a #11 uncle josh and I use a small piece of a power worm on the shank of the hook to keep the pork up. I use my pork fat side down and use a razor blade to cut the fat in slits down to the hide thereby giving a little more action. I'm useing a 3/4 oz rattle back jig for this deep water and will go up to a #1 frog in about 6 weeks when I'm in 10 to 25 feet to help with the fall rate and they seem to like the bigger profile.More food in one bite? I know the females need the crawdads for egg developement. It's the Calcium in the shell I'm told, who Knows? Don't give them to big of a brain or you'll be in trouble. Just go fishing,for fishing sake and you'll start to put together your favorites too! Kelly
