Two lakes I fish for gills are ultra clear, and very deep.[dale hollow, lake cumberland]Both have large gills.I have caught dinks as deep as 20ft, hearing that bigger fish can even go deeper, I'm wondering how deep some of you guys have fisehed. My system is usually a small slip sinker, and 10/2 braid line. But at times a 2ounce bottom bouncer, and a snelled hooh about 3 ft above it. use meal worms that deep.Have heard of 9 inch and better gills caught deeper.I use my bow mount motor and troll steep drop offs, but still cant the hawgs.
