Deep water jigs

I have a place that has fish 20 to 25 ft in 30ft of water so today i tryed pulling 1.8 ounce jigs i let line all way to bottom but i didn't really know how fast to troll to keep it in that range .would spyder rigging work better at that deep i also can do that.

I would probably mark em and single pole.

I would do like ET Fish said probably.

There scattered all over its not just one spot

I'd be Pushing jigs for fish that deep, especially if they weren't holding tight to cover.

Normally (for me) that would be with 1oz weights & a 1/16oz jig/plastic on a 2ft leader @ 1mph ... with 35ft of line out (at approx. 45deg angle) which would put the jig at around 21ft deep.

But, if they are holding tight/close to cover (and you have those cover spots marked) then Spider Rigging might be a better choice. And I'd probably switch over to Spider Rigging if I was Pushing jigs among a lot of fish & not getting any action, but I might slow my speed down & shorten the amount of line out (first) just to make sure they were not just ignoring the faster presentation. :twocents

We are quite successful side pulling 1/8 & 1/4 oz. jigs (without any other weight) over those depths all the time. Speed is between .6 & .9 mph. It's always amazing to me how far up the water column crappie (and other panfish) will go to get at a morsel of food. :)

I would sink a BIG tree in the area and one pole them right to the shallow water in my ice chest if I were you ….
less complicated and saves on fuel and a lot less to pay attention to ….
it could work you know :highfive

In the fall after turn over I use 1/8 and 3/16 once jigs when fishing in 20 to 25 FOW.
I slow troll the jigs at 0.3 to 0.5 mph using 6 lb. colored braid and a 4 lb three foot fluorocarbon leader.
The spinner is used on occasion with a small weight attached to the line.Attachment 360367

I like how you did the Perch imitator. I use lime chartreuse / black and red in 90% of my soft plastic lures and sometimes add a dab of florescent orange too. That is an awesome color combination.
