The fishing had slowed way down at 26 1/2 feet, so I went exploring. I would drill a hole about every twenty feet or so and put the fish finder down. I didn't see a fish until I reached 42 feet, and then I saw some coming through at about 15 feet down. Yes, we caught two fish out at 42 feet, and missed several others. My grandson was using a slip bobber, and I would suspend his offering at about 15 - 20 feet. I would drop mine to the bottom, and reel up if I saw a fish come through above. I was getting bites on the bottom, and we both got bites at 15 to 20 feet.
There were times at both 26 1/2 feet and at 42 feet, when it appeared schools of fish were coming through. The fishfinder would light up and it would be non-stop bites for awhile. It was rare to have a fish come through that didn't bite, and I must say that without a quality fishfinder I wouldn't have caught nearly as many fish.
