Default Depth

Here is my question i have depths ranging from 180-3000ft, what is a good target depth? Seems to have better structure @ 800-1200Ft. Is this a good starting depth?

Jr.,

Why do you always PM everyone rather than sharing with all, like the rest of us?

Captadamr,

My opinion is that bottom structure of any type is more important than depth.

My answer was that I have given Captain Adam Russell information before. I haven't tried to teach him anything, because frankly, I'm here to learn and don't have anything to teach to you experts like Hannaman and The Beast. I told him to talk to someone a while ago because I knew that person was knowledgable in the subject area. The first PM had advice to just give someone a call. That's all.


I guess I shouldn't have tried to help at all.

Don't be Relentless. I was only kidding. I don't know about Beast.
Hey I'm no expert, don't jinx me.

You may not consider yourself an expert and I guess you could say that fishermen can never be "experts" because there is always something new to learn. But I consider you and many others the "experts" because of the amount of information you have. Did I tell you I am more than willing to listen to that information?
