Everyday is different. We run 6 lines on average. 2 Shallow, 2 Mid, 2 Deep with 6 different lures and colors. Once we see a pattern we consolidate our efforts with that depth, lure, and color. We also use jet divers w/ stinger spoons 10' & 20', reef runners, smithwycks, etc. I recommend running the jet divers directly behind the boat. Less tangles & easy to pull up when ya get one on
