I'll have out 4-6 Arigs with four different weight jiginheads, all set at 80 feet back. Whichever rig gets hit the most is usually the depth the fish are holding at that day.
And that can be anywhere from 15-30 feet.

I can personally attest that when Merv has weight and depth and bait nailed down, its almost comical the amount of fish he boats. Last year on different trips i was either in front, on the side or behind him, trolling A-rigs....same speed, same area and he would boat 4-5 fish to my one at least. Lol. I dont have line counter reels so if i was a few feet off high or low that was making the difference. I just stood in my boat, little tear in my eye every time i heard him holler "fish on" and i look at my rods and they were just as still as could be. Lol.
