    A one ounce at 100 back should be about 14' deep at 1.5 mph. You will probably need to go to a 2 or 3oz. I would go with 3oz personally, should be 40 back to get 20' deep. And if your going faster than 1.5mph have to run longer leads.

    We run 2oz'ers six foot up from the harness or spoon, then vary depths in five foot increments starting at 25-30-35-40-45-50 and see where we are picking up the fish. You can use the chart, but there are so many variables depending on current, which way the waves and wind are blowing, what line you are using, trolling speed, etc, we just use the shotgun approach instead of trying to be too specific.
