Waterround the edges is nearly always from two to fif-180 How to Get Them teen feet deep; weeds are a good test of and spoons should run through thewater about two feet deep (rowing just fast enoughto make the lures spin) and should be kept in thewater that depth; whenever the boat stops, reelthe line in, or it gets fast at the bottom. In turn-ing round make a wide sweep and the lure willfollow; if a sudden turn is made the line getssnagged. The same depth should be maintainedfor mascalonge and pike; a little deeper does noharm if there are no weeds. For deep water trout. Dowagiac Rainbow. a sinker is necessary. They sometimes lie forty feet deep in unbroken bottoms, jumping in places from forty to twenty; that can be found out by soundinpj.
