We put ours out in different depths for different times of the year(some places crappie can be caught year around).Our Spring(pre-spawn and spawn) are anywhere from 1 feet to 15 foot.Our summer brush(post-spawn) is anywhere from 14-30 feet.Our fall and winter brush may be anywhere from 5-30 feet.We do have some brush that holds fish year around and that brush seems to be in 14-19 foot range.
