Ive caught fish in the last week in a wide variety of depths. Anywhere from a 2.11 in the back of a creek in 5ft of water and several in 3 to 4ft, on out to fish 20ft down in 35ft of water in the same day. As far as time of day, I love the morning calmness, but the afternoon is when the fish seem to settle down and cling to brush if they're going to, and get more predictable. Often, in the mornings, you'll see them roaming (even during a brush bite), and hard to get on and target specifically (with livescope), and they just seem to sit still better after lunch for some reason, whether they're parked in open water suspended, or staged on brush. Mornings it's a crap shoot it seems.
