I been catchin em here between 2' and 6' of water fishing about 1' deep.
4 foot of water,2.5 feet down,live crickets.
It depends where you're fishing. I got 45 at one of my favorite ponds today. About 40 came on a spinning rig with a red trout magnet. The rest came on my fly rod. The biggest fish were very shallow (1') and hit the fly. All the rest were well off the bank suspended 5-6' deep in 9-10' of water.
Were you just casting the trout magnet? or are you talking about putting it on like a beetle spin type lure? I've thought about putting one on a beetle spin.... lol I'm sure you just mean spinning rig as in spinning rod but I woulnd't ever know if I didn't ask! :D
Yeah, just casting a plain trout magnet -- no tipping with bait and no "beetle spin" type spinner.Quote:

They work really well for me on a beetle spin, although I personally prefer really tiny grubs (like the Mister Twister 1" ones) on mine.Quote:

last crackers i caught in decent numbers were literally "under" the banks, and a couple feet off of the banks too, i caught them maybe 4ft off the banks and closer, i couldnt throw my bait "close enough" to the waters edge, nightcrawlers are always the ticket at this pond, this was early last week, good luck
i usually catch them on worms or crickets in 4-2 feet deep in trees with a cork fishing bout 1 1/2 ft deep
