And speaking of depth…did you know Smart Fishing Spots has a 1ft contour layer?! If you’re not an Insider yet, become one today and get instant access to all the layers Smart Fishing Spots offer!

You mentioned Weedless Round Eye Jig Heads. I plan to check on that. I’m always fishing jigs on the bottom, bouncing them off the bottom on nearly every twitch. But, it’s frustrating to get snagged or hung up so often. Weedless sounds good. Maybe I’ll spend more time fishing, and less time rerigging.
For me, it seems there are 2 depths to fish. Near or popping off the bottom and using a surface lure or crank bait near the top. This is what I have gathered from your video’s.
