Thanks everyone for the input. We have been putting out tops on Cedar Lake for a few years now. We have 100+ tops out all together in depths from about 7 - 25 feet. We catch 90% of the fish in tops between 12 - 16 feet deep most of the year (except for when they are shallow during the spring). We have put about 20 tops on a different lake that is deeper and the water is clear compared to Cedar. We put them out from 15 - 30 feet. I am planning to try some of them for the first time tomorrow.
