Quite a ways from the channel. Comming from Mienke's (Anchor point) NW couse and 6.7 miles. There is a drop off line on the charts. I've been fishing anywhere along that line on the deeper side. There is an area of rocky bottom that I have the most luck when I can find it. But anywhere along that line seems to work well. Been fishing it 2 yrs. now and never had a real bad day.
