we was fishing around 75-90, 88-90 seemed too be the best yes I use a chiping bar and make a big enuf hole to pull them 40lber's out but heck I cant land them so I could use an 8'' hole LOL about a 10'' hole is uaually good enuf fro fish up too 30lb's but much more than that and ya better have a bar and some one ya trust big time to chip that pig out it has only happend to me once on a 43lber his head would come out but his body wouldnt it was way cool thought I had the one but he was just a nice respectable fish a couple guy's I know were doing some smaller fish in 65-75ft but that was becouse of the patch ice condition's chip an 18" hole and you can land eny fish in the gorge.later Fishley
