Start shallow and go deep. When I came to home to St. John after dark to the fish house it's deep to, but the fish were 4 to 6 ft none were keepers tho. I'm no expert at fishing but the most important thing that I have learned is to just stay with them. I think of it like playing football,I would rather have 2 plays that I run and be in shape,then have a book of trick plays and not in shape. I fish every day and that makes a difference. That's my opinion
