90% of my saugers & walleyes in that river, all over that river in the winter months come from the backs of holes. I will start my drift way at the front, get down to about 40-45', jig that stretch then on the back side my magic depths are between 33' and 23'. All that is dictated by the individual hole. Now think about holes you fish, they arent steep slopes, but they arent slow tapering either. Thats why i keep 2 rods with jigs and minnows rigged and ready and a 3rd rod with a jigging blade. The current in my stretch saturday according to my trash lowrance had me moving between 1.5 and 2.1 MPH. at that speed you do not have alot of time to fish the "hot zone" before your up on the flat. if i get a bite and miss or loose a fish, i quickly crank up and drop the next rod losing maybe 10 yards of water instead of 30 or so trying to rebait quickly. In the video i picked up a few fish back to back by doing that. Increases your fishing time in the quality water.
